Contemporary Christian rock group Family Force 5 has released Hold Your Hand as a Valentine’s treat for its fans. It’s not an explicitly Christian song–looking at the lyrics, it reads more like a love song from a man to a woman who he’s loved for a very long time. The lyrics are lovely, and the instrumentation and delivery are very distinctly Family Force 5. (Actually, looking at the lyrics, one would think it was a ballad, but it’s clearly not.) Catchy melody, interesting cover art (I don’t get it, frankly), and, of course, those great lyrics, bodes well for another hit for Family Force 5.
HOLD YOUR HAND Lyrics
Family Force 5
Playground summer time
Chalky hands mid-July
First crush 1989
Swing sets carousels
You’re dressed in pink pastels
Another day in paradise
Till I heard you scream
Cause you skinned your knee
You looked up at me and I said
I said…
I’ll hold your hand don’t you worry no
I’ll hold your hand don’t you worry no
Through the good and the bad
Sunny or sad
Reach out I’ll hold your hand
Best suit clip on tie
Dad’s car mom’s advice
It was prom 1999
Strobe lights fog machines
Sweaty palms two left feet
DJ’s spinning all my life
You said shall we dance
I said sorry I can’t
With your smiling eyes you said
You said…
I’ll hold your hand don’t you worry no
I’ll hold your hand don’t you worry no
Through the good and the bad
Sunny or sad
Reach out I’ll hold your hand
