Holding Up

Hands on my head Knees fallen to the floor Looking out in the distance Rain falling all around. The light fading fast The light never lasts. Tears stream from the eyes The eyes that see nothing but lies. Hold us up. Hold us high Keep us knitted together. Don't let the darkness tare us apart. Hands on my head Knees fallen to the floor I can't take this stress anymore My peace just about dead. Forced upon a strength A mask for all to see Something to hide Something they can never see. The breakdown that calls The anguish that follows, Calling out for help Calling to save us all. Don't go away Stay on my knees and pray Get through what may kill a bond That will tear apart all we knew. This is nothing in this world I wouldn't do. Pray for strength to pull through To be there when most needed Even while the tears flow from my eyes. The light is dim My heart is shattered to dust A strength that's called upon To help others get through what's to come. Things happen for a reason No one will understand why Watch yourself as time will fly Soon no one will cry Hold us up Hold us high Watch over my family Pray for peace to return, for the light to shine so high. My love, it will not die. Hands on my head Knees to the floor I will not give up anymore.
