## Lyrics
[verse]
When the world got heavy and I couldn't stand
You were the one who reached out your hand
No question asked, no price to pay
Just a friend who chased my blues away

[chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Lift each other up, that's the plan
When the road gets hard and the way seems dim
Shake a hand and walk on in

[verse]
I've seen sorrow, I've seen better days
But kindness always finds a way
A gentle word, a steady arm
That's the thing that keeps us safe from harm

[chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Lift each other up, that's the plan
When the road gets hard and the way seems dim
Shake a hand and walk on in

[bridge]
Choir's rising now behind the beat
Every stranger that you chance to meet
Could be the answer to your lonely prayer
So open up your heart, show that you care

[chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Lift each other up, that's the plan
When the road gets hard and the way seems dim
Shake a hand and walk on in
