I thought that number one

Would surely be me

I thought I could be

What I wanted to be

I thought that I could build

On life's sinking sand

But I can't even walk

Without you holding my hand

I thought I had done

A lot on my own

And I thought I could make it

All alone

And I thought of myself

As a mighty big man

But I can't even walk

Without you holding my hand

I can't even walk

Without you holding my hand

The mountain's too high

And the valley's too wide

It's down on my knees

I've learned how to stand

Because I can't even walk

Without you holding my hand

I can't even walk

Without you holding my hand
