I'd like to say you're gonna make it, children
I'd like to say that everything will be alright
From the time you're startin' out in the morning
'Till the time you fall asleep in the sweet moonlight
I'd like to say the world is fair
And you can face it from an easy chair
I'd like to say it, but it's just not true
You do your best, but it's not always up to you

So hand it over
To hands that are stronger
His hand is on you
If you'll hand it over
(Hand it over!)

Doesn't mean you stop your brain from thinkin'
Doesn't mean that if you're smilin', no one's home
Or in your heart, you'll never feel like cryin'
Doesn't mean you'll never dance alone
But you will always have a song to sing
Not a tear will ever fall in vain
Undying love will be sustaining you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
A helpin' hand in everything you do, oh

So hand it over
(So hand it over)
To hands that are stronger
His hand is on you
If you'll hand it over

(Just hand it over, you'll be alright)

Trust with all your heart and mind
In the name above all names
And if you look you'll find divine design
In the strongest of the struggles and the strains

(His hand is on you)

It doesn't mean you stop your brain from thinkin'
Doesn't mean that if you're smilin', no one's home
Or in your heart, you'll never feel like cryin'
Doesn't mean you'll never dance alone
But you will always have a song to sing
Not a tear will ever fall in vain
Undying love will be sustaining you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
A helpin' hand in everything you do

So hand it over
(So hand it over)
To hands that are stronger
His hand is on you
If you'll hand it over
So hand it over
(So hand it over)
To hands that are stronger
His hand is on you
If you'll hand it over

(Won't you hand it over')
I'd like to say you're gonna make it, children
(Won't you hand it over')
I'd like to say that everything will be alright
(Won't you hand it over')
You will always have a song to sing, yeah

Undying love will be sustaining you

Won't you hand it over')
Helpin' hand in everything you do, yeah

In my heart I know you're gonna make it
(Won't you hand it over')
I'd like to say that everthing will be alright
(Won't you hand it over')

Helpin' hand in everything you do, yeah
(So hand it over
Won't you hand it over')
