By Your Hand

[Verse 1]
Morning spills across the water
You tie the red cloth at your waist
I hear the market waking slowly
And taste the salt upon your face

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Come on, the road is calling”
I take your hand and leave the shore

[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand

[Verse 2]
At the bend, the old bridge trembles
Rain runs silver through the leaves
You laugh and lift your woven basket
While the clouds break over trees

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “The day is ours for taking”
I feel the earth beneath my feet

[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
When the long roads pull us outward
When the seasons change their names
I will keep the bend in the river
I will keep the hills the same

[Final Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
You and I, wherever we stand
I will know this place by your hand

[Outro]
By your hand, I know this land
