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

I'm with shassouneh. in the "live from charleston" version, darius adds in all these words in the beginning... "with a little love, and some tenderness, we'll walk above the water, we gotta rise above all this racist bullshit mess. we need peace yall. we need harmony. we'll take the world together, grab em by the hand and say that I've gotta hand for you and I wanna run with you." the best is when he says "see I was wasted, imagine that?! and I was a wastin time." hahaha. the crowd went nuts. their live album is SO great!
