Every now and then sadness overflows
And I get swept away in a tide of woes
Looking for a hand that won't let go

So when I'm down and out it'll search for me
When I don't like what it is in the world I see
I'll look into your heart and there I'll be
Looking for a friend who'll stand by me

Then I feel your love
I feel your love
And all this darkness disappearing
I know I'm nearing the end
Of a dead end dream

Every once in awhile our doubts get loud
'Til everything bright and gay turns inside out
I'm looking for a hand I'm feeling around

So when I'm down for the count it'll search for me
When I don't like what it is in the mirror I see
I'll look into your eyes and there I'll be
Looking for a hand that won't break free

Then I feel your love
I feel your love
And all this sadness disappearing
I know I'm nearing the end
Of a dead end dream

When our eyes are downcast
We may fail to see
Or realize that we have
All the love that we need

Looking for a hand that won't let go

Then I feel your love
I feel your love
And all this darkness disappearing
I know I'm nearing the end
Of a dead end dream
Nearing the end of a dead end dream
Nearing the end of a dead end dream
