Music video
The accompanying music video for "Come Take My Hand" takes place in a desert-like setting. A bus arrives and Des'Ray and D-Rock get off it. Standing out in the desert, Des'Ray begins to sing. Throughout the video, various people appear, or pass by, like a man in a motorcycle suit and helmet, a woman with flowers, a clown, a man and woman with a child, watering the desert, an Indian and a farmer with a mustache, standing by a cow. As D-Rock begins to rap, a data animated, mechanical microphone unfolds in front of him. A man, dressed in baroque fashion puts a headset on the head of the rapper, while a data animated bird shows up and flies away. The man with the mustache reveals that his mustache is a fake one. In the end, the bus reappears. Des'Ray and D-Rock enter and the bus leaves.
