And true love never has to hide
(True love never has to hide)
I'll trade your broken wings for mine
(Trade your broken wings for mine)
I've seen your scars and kissed your crime
(Seen your scars and kissed your crime)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love all night long
Our love was stronger than your pride
Beyond your darkness, I'm your light
If you get deep, you touch my mind
(If you get deep, you touch my mind)
Baptize your tears and dry your eyes
(Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love all night long
They say true love's the greatest weapon
To win the war caused by pain (Pain)
But every diamond has imperfections
But my love's too pure to watch it chip away
Oh, nothing real can be threatened
True love breathes salvation back into me
With every tear came redemption
And my torturer became a remedy
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up and rub up and feel up
Kiss up and rub up and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
Sweet love all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love all night long
How I missed you, my love
Proceeds from "Hand in Hand" will be split between a range of charities involved in the recovery efforts in Houston right now. The organisations include the Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity and the Mayor’s Fund for Hurricane Harvey Relief.
Just last week Houston was ravaged by storms and flooding as a result of Harvey.
According to ABC News, the death toll from Harvey has risen to 60 with more deaths still being confirmed. Tens of thousands of people have also been forced to evacuate their homes as a result of the flooding and all of the damage that it's caused.
Beyoncé and celebrites including Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez have all called upon their fans to do whatever they can to help the victims of Harvey. Not only that but they've all personally made large donations to the charities that are on hand.
Beyoncé's own charity organisation BeyGOOD is actually directly working in the Harvey relief efforts.
The 'Formation' hitmaker took to Instagram to show her support.
Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Kelly Rowland and Ryan Seacrest will also take part in “Hand in Hand”.
We hope that the event is a huge success!
