Grandpa, Take My Hand – Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Grandpa

You squint at the doorway

Shadows sitting heavy on the wall

Name tag on your cardigan is crooked

You laugh and say you can’t see much at all

[Chorus]

Grandpa

Your eyesight isn’t good

In that long

Dim corridor

Don’t be afraid

Don’t be alone

We’ll be your light

A little more

Grandpa

Take my hand and lead me

Like you did when I was small

That same soft

Steady guiding

Still lives in us all

[Verse 2]

I remember your shoes by the threshold

You’d tap them twice and wait for me

Crosswalk beeping

Traffic rushing

You’d say

“Just trust

And count to three”

[Chorus]

Grandpa

Your eyesight isn’t good

In that long

Dim corridor

Don’t be afraid

Don’t be alone

We’ll be your light

A little more

Grandpa

Take my hand and lead me

Like you did when I was small

That same soft

Steady guiding

Still lives in us all

[Bridge]

Now the hallway hums and flickers

Name plates shining

Pale and thin

But your stories fill the silence

I’m the one who leads you in (oh yeah)

Every step

Every slow small step

Is you teaching me again

[Chorus]

Grandpa

Your eyesight isn’t good

In that long

Dim corridor

Don’t be afraid

Don’t be alone

We’ll be your light

A little more

Grandpa

Take my hand and lead me

Even if you cannot see

The way you always walked beside me

Now walks through me
