Holding On
Hold on, hold still
Where do you go... tomorrow?
I know but if only I knew
What I held... what do I hold?
I know I hold something like nothing
I know its important yet somehow irrelevant
It's like somewhere only i know i have been
A secreted privilege perhaps for someone to earn
What do we hold that we have no idea of?
An edge in life until someone else has something better?
How do we identify and know somehow the cause?
Was something we withheld in time to withhold lesser?
And we give it away perhaps finally
For the change in life and the change in time
Fighting a yesterday for something today mean silly
Because for tomorrow, today we are left behind
How did I hold on and perhaps still?
where will i go to... tomorrow?
I know but if only I knew
What once I held... I do but hold
