🎶 Hand In Hand song analysis

The protagonist feels sad and scared because it is raining and there are tears everywhere, but he sees hope in the rain that washes everything away. He sings about the love he has for his companion and says that he has done his best to be close to her, even though they sometimes feel distant from each other. He wishes that she sometimes thinks of him when she is far away, and hopes that they can be hand in hand as lovers should be.
