Let me tell you a story
It’s about you and me
We walked along the narrow road
You held my hand
We were a family
It’s was the only thing you’d ever known

You decided to let go
And walk away
You bought the lie
You said goodbye

My hand is the only hand you need
Why do you keep on-
Holding on to everything but me
Why do you keep on-
Looking up to find a sign
It’s been right here all this time
O Can’t you see
My hand is the only hand you need

Let me tell you a story
It’s about a love affair
We had before you walked away
Don’t say you don’t remember
Because I was there
Holding your hand and we laughed
As we dreamt the days away

I wanted forever
But you couldn’t stay
You bought the lie
You said goodbye

Bridge
One day all your money will be spent
I’ll be waiting here just like the days you left
And you’ll come running back to my arms again

Behind the Song:
The story begins in paradise with a God who walked with His children in a perfect garden. The enemy and human pride led to sin and created a distance. But God came looking…He pursued….Listen to His heart as He asks: “Where are you?” (Gen. 3:9)
