"Hold My Hand"
-Hootie and the Blowfish

With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand
cause Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I dont wanna be part of your problems
Dont wanna be part of your crowd, no
cause Ive got a hand for youIve got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my handWant you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...oh...no, no, no, no, no
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can


The songg "Hold My Hand" by Hootie and the Blowfish uses anaphora and anadipolis repetition in the song. Anaphora is using the same phrase at the beginning of a few lines. Anadipolis is using the same phrase at the end of the line and beginning on with the same phrase. When saying hold my hand is anaphora and also stating that he will love her the best that he can is anadipolis. He says hold my hand so many times because the listeners understand that he just wants his loved one with him and he will guide her. When he uses the phrase "I wanna love you the best that, the besta that i can. Oh, the best that i can" he repeats the word best because this lets the listeners know that he will love her the best he can, and will not love her any less.
