"I Need the Hand (A Muppet’s Ballad)"
(A Power Ballad)
[Verse 1]
I thought I could do it, thought I’d stand tall,
A Muppet on my own, I’d never fall.
I pushed you away, said I’d sing my song,
But without your touch, it all feels so wrong.
I tried to dance, I tried to play,
But my strings got tangled, I lost my way.
I’m just a Muppet, felt and dreams,
I need your hand to stitch my seams.
[Chorus]
I need the hand to lift me high,
To help me soar, to touch the sky!
I can’t do it all alone, I see,
The hand I pushed away completes me!
Oh, I need the hand, I need the hand,
To help this Muppet take a stand!
[Verse 2]
I shouted, “I’m free!” I tried to be brave,
But my voice just echoed in an empty cave.
I missed your rhythm, your gentle guide,
Without your hand, I’ve got no stride.
I’m made of fluff, but my heart’s so real,
I need your warmth to help me feel.
Together we shine, we light the stage,
A Muppet’s dream on a shared page.
[Chorus]
I need the hand to lift me high,
To help me soar, to touch the sky!
I can’t do it all alone, I see,
The hand I pushed away completes me!
Oh, I need the hand, I need the hand,
To help this Muppet take a stand!
[Bridge]
(Soft, reflective)
I thought I’d be fine, just me and my song,
But I stumbled in the spotlight, I got it all wrong.
You’re more than a hand, you’re my partner, my friend,
With you by my side, this show won’t end.
(Building, with emotion)
So come back to me, let’s make it right,
We’ll sing through the day, we’ll glow in the night!
I’m ready to rise, I’m ready to mend,
With your hand in my heart, this love won’t end!
[Final Chorus]
I need the hand to lift me high,
To help me soar, to touch the sky!
I can’t do it all alone, I see,
The hand I pushed away completes me!
Oh, I need the hand, I need the hand,
To help this Muppet take a stand!
[Outro]
(Soft, with a hopeful tone)
So take my strings, let’s start anew,
A Muppet and a hand, we’ll make it through.
I need the hand, oh, I need the hand,
Together we’ll dream in this Muppet land.
