about

Original cast recording. The family is separated - the girls are at a boarding school in England, while their parents go to Trinidad, looking for work.

lyrics

How can I sit in this crowded room, yet be alone?
I’m just a child thrown in waters much too deep
It’s getting late but I know I can’t sleep here, I want to be home
But home is only what I carry and I’m tired of the weight

Hold my hand and things will start improving
We will make it through the night
Hold my hand, you know we’ve got to keep on moving
You’ll see, everything will be all right

The next day’s better than the first, but better’s nowhere close to good
I’m moving forward like I said I would, like we agreed.
And you’ve assured me I’ll succeed here, but I must confess
That if I had the chance, I’d wish it all away
And go back to before

Hold my hand and things will start improving
We will make it through the night
Hold my hand, you know we’ve got to keep on moving
You’ll see, everything will be all right

If I stand still for a moment then I know the fear will win
But frankly I’m too stubborn to give in.

Hold my hand and things will start improving
We will make it through the night
Hold my hand, you know we’ve got to keep on moving
You’ll see, everything will be all right

Everything will be all right
