In de nevel van de misverstanden
Gevechten die de tijd verklaart
Gehuld, verhuld
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je bij onbegrip
Ik draag je uit valkuilen
Duisterheden, grimmigheden
Langs gretig grauwe vijanden
Kom bij me
En ontwakend in de morgenlanden
Als oorlogen de harten doden
In de fusillades
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je door vernielde straten
Ik draag je langs kraters
Puinhopen en wanhopen
Langs gretig grauwe vijanden
Kom bij me
Langs ontredderende toekomstbanden
Angsten en onzekerheden
Langs hunkering en paniek
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je langs afgronden
Ik draag je door grotten
Duisterheden, grimmigheden
Langs gretig grauwe vijanden
Kom bij me, ik heb je lief
Door de poorten van verademing
De wolkbreuk van de overgave
In jouw nieuwe land
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je door jouw rijkdommen
Ik draag je door jouw tuinen
Jouw boomgaarden en wijngaarden
Met vrienden, nieuw als kinderen
Ik kom bij je
In de vreugde van de morgenvelden
In de echo van de bergen
In de stilte van het meer
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je door jouw feesten
Ik draag je door jouw carnaval
Jouw harpen en bazuinen
Met vrienden, nieuw als kinderen
Ik kom bij je
In de stortvloed van de nieuwe dag
In de overvloed van dankbaarheden
In jouw nieuwe huis
Dan geef ik mijn twee handen
Ik draag je door jouw bruiloft
Ik draag je door de taaie tijd
Van bajestijd tot majesteit
Met vrienden, nieuw als kinderen
Ik kom bij je, ik heb jou lief
