There was a time when I didn’t have a dime
Or a dollar in these old jeans
And the boots on my feet, they were fallin’ to pieces
From all of the miles that we’ve seen
That guitar that I’d hold may be worn out and old
But she never skipped a damn beat
I had nowhere to go, no place to call home
And that’s right when you rescued me
Oh, see, I don’t got much, but I’ll give you all that I have
‘Cause your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask
I’ll give you my heart and I won’t take it back
‘Cause your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask
You were pale as a ghost as you pined down the road
Runnin’ from the hurt that you knew
Like a train off the rails you were reckless and hellbent
And right then, well, that’s when I knew
You took this old heart, gave these wheels a new start
Gave me somethin’ worth holdin’ on to
I still don’t got much, but I’ll give you all that I have
‘Cause your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask
I’ll give you my heart and I won’t take it back
‘Cause your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask
Your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask
The Power of Humble Devotion
“All That I Have” by Sam Barber is a heartfelt ballad that explores themes of love, vulnerability, and gratitude. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who come together at their lowest points, each carrying emotional and material burdens. Through poetic verses, Barber emphasizes that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in the connection and support found in a loving relationship. The song’s chorus, repeating the phrase “your hand in my hand is all that I’d ever ask,” highlights the idea that companionship and mutual rescue are more valuable than anything money can buy.
