About This Song


Written in February, 2020 inspired by world events especially the terrible COVID-19 virus which at the time was mainly raging through Wuhan, China and the area. Sadly, the virus has become a pandemic. A song of solidarity and of hope for a better world through cooperation.

I thought about releasing the song on Easter Monday as a charity single.

Guitar tuning in Eb for ease of singing.
PS. I would appreciate it if the song was not shared out anyway other than Songwriting Pro as I wish to release the song in April, 2020. Thank you in advance.

Feedback Requested


Please forive the poor vocal and guitar demo recording without any mic into garage band. The extra work was done on logic by a friend.

All feedback greatly welcome. Thank you so much.

Join Hands (2020: Song #3)
Music and Lyrics by Samuel Alexander Barbour (15th February, 2020)
Copyright 2020. All Rights Reserved
Introduction
VERSE #1
I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
When I read the news from the front line
Forgotten tales of sacrifice
Just in the wrong place at the wrong time
But just know, that you’re not alone
CHORUS #1
And if it’s any consolation,
In these times of complication
Let’s join hands
Let’s join hands
There’s no need for explanations
Just take time, upon reflection
Let’s join hands
Remember we can
Let’s join hands
VERSE #2
It’ll take time to heal the pain
Families broken and restrained
But I know you’ll overcome the strain
And I’m sure I’ll see your spirit rise again my friends
Remember we’ll be there until the end
CHORUS #2
There’s no need for confrontation
All we need is collaboration
Let’s join hands
Let’s join hands
And if they harbour reservations
Of a life of transformations
Let’s join hands
Remember you can
Let’s join hands
BRIDGE
When things don’t go as planned
And no-one understands
No matter how you try
You can’t tell why
Just know, somehow you’ll get by
Guitar Solo
CHORUS #3
There’s no need for confrontation
All we need is collaboration
Let’s join hands
Let’s join hands
And if they harbour reservations
About a life of transformations
Let’s join hands
Remember you can
Let’s join hands
Outro
I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
