Cover art for Hold My Hand lyrics by Hootie & the Blowfish

I don't think this is at all a "Love" song in the romantic sense. I think its more like anti-racism peace around the world type thing. Especiallys since it starts wtih "With a little love, and some tenderness We'll walk upon the water We'll rise above this mess With a little peace, and some harmony We'll take the world together We'll take 'em by the hand 'Cause I've got a hand for you 'Cause I wanna run with you"

Either way, H&TB deserve a lot more credit than they are usually given. They have managed to create a killer tune, awesome vocals, and undeniably great lyrics, no matter what they really mean :D :)
