	Story Behind the Song Pretty much a political song about the reality of feeling self-conscious holding my partner's hand while we were travelling. A testament to the potential interpretations of two women holding hands depending on where they are in the world. A mighty fine melody and instrumentation too, I might add. Lyrics WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, SUNLIGHT IN MY EYES ARMS AROUND YOUR MIDDLE, I KISS YOUR CHEEK TO WAKE YOU UP SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST NIGHT IN A TRAIN BOUND FOR AMSTERDAM GOTHIC CHURCHES AMIDST BROTHELS ANCIENT CANALS LINED WITH PROSTITUTES -BUT I CAN HOLD YOUR HAND HERE WE RE AS ACCEPTED AS PORNOGRAPHY AS FREE AS THE WATERWAYS TO PICK THE ROAD WE WANT TO TRAVEL DOWN- NOW WE RE IN JERUSALEM, PEOPLE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO PRAY I VE NEVER BEEN ANOTHER PLACE, WHERE PEOPLE LOVE SO MUCH AND HATE THIS DESERT IN THE FOOTHILLS, THE ROADS ALL LEAD TO HISTORY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF CONFLICT, WHAT MAKES US THINK IT WILL EVER END -BUT I CAN HOLD YOUR HAND HERE WE RE ACCEPTED AS THE BEST OF FRIENDS, AS FREE AS THE GALILEE WE HIDE THE ROAD WE WANT TO TRAVEL DOWN- WE CALL OURSELVES CIVILIZED, A NATION UNDER GOD. BUT IF GOD LOVES EVERYONE, WHY DO I FEEL SUCH HATE FROM SOME WHAT ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF, THAT THEY HIDE THEIR FEAR IN IGNORANCE, AND VEIL THEIR PERSECUTION IN POLITICS AND FAT POCKET-BOOKS -AND I WILL HOLD YOUR HAND HERE I WILL NOT LET THEM TAKE MY RIGHTS I’M FREE TO BE WHO I AM, TO PICK THE ROAD I WANT TO TRAVEL DOWN-
