Akon feat Michael Jackson - Hold My Hand Lyrics and Video
Hold My Hand by Akon featuring Michael Jackson, Music Video and Lyrics
‘Hold My Hand‘ is a R&B duet/collaboration between Akon and Michael Jackson, composed by Claude Kelly.
There is no official mention of the recording on either artists’ websites although Akon has spoken about the track on various other websites. It was not included in the track list for Freedom as Akon previously stated. During an interview with Tavis Smiley, Akon said that Jackson had planned on a high-profile release including a music video until the track had leaked. This is Jackson’s last known song before he died on June 25, 2009.
Here you can listen the song, this is a fan made video.
Akon feat Michael Jackson - Hold My Hand Lyrics
This life don’t last forever (hold my hand)
So tell me what we’re waitin’ for (hold my hand)
Better off being together (hold my hand)
Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)
Cause I’ve been there before
And you’ve been there before
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight
So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us if you just hold, hold my, hold my, hold my hand.
The nights are getting darker (hold my hand)
And there’s no peace inside (hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder (hold my hand)
By fighting love, tonight.
Cause I’ve been there before
And you’ve been there before
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight
So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us if you just hold my hand
Song Information
“Hold My Hand” is produced by Konvict Muzik.
Akon explained the record as “worldwide” and stated, “The record is so huge. It’s too big. Michael’s the only person I could have collaborated with,” while boasting the rest of the album and it’s songs as “huge”.

his musical genius is so great that as they use to say , that everything he touches is turn to gold, another gold record.on friday the world woke up to the news that the king of pop was dead, such a sad and bad day for this african american. his gifts to the world are worth more than billions. his fans worldwide supports this american hero; his body of work is so amazing , we are all in his legacy… there is grace land and there is neverland , the lasting legacy of michael jackson stretched across four decade like light and time multimedia a venue for music message to the masses and he did it well… the best at least in my lifetime… thanks for the witness michael continue to shine in emortal light… i will continue to sing your songs as memorial to and of the love you gave the world. peace and love brother we love you alwats…
