Lyrics

Hold on to me

Everywhere I look the clouds are closing
They’re closing minds like doors against the wind
Drawing imagined lines sent to divide us
Hatred sails strong on righteous wings
The quickest ones to fall surrender reason
It’s easier to hate who you don’t know
The fields are getting ripe for a killing season
Are we to unlearn all history has shown.
Hold - Hold - Hold on to me
Hold - Hold - Help me to believe
They’ll tell you that your way of life in in danger
That its their fault you don’t walk on streets of gold
They use the ignorant as their footsoldiers
Yet they will take the very sun and turn it cold.
Hold - Hold - Hold on to me
Hold - Hold - Help me to believe
Histories repeating – reason is retreating
The seeds of evil – sprouting all around
Humanity’s dividing – Compassion is subsiding
It’s so hard to stand strong against the cold.
Hold - Hold - Hold on to me
Hold - Hold - Help me to believe
Dead soldiers turn where they lay sleeping
What is it so many fail to understand
A bullet doesn’t care who it leaves bleeding
Ideology pulls the trigger in the hand.
Hold - Hold - Hold on to me
Hold - Hold - Help me to believe
Hold - Hold - Hold on to me
Hold - Hold - Help me to believe
That could be your brother or your son
That could be you clinging to your life
We’re each of us responsible for the reasons
When we chose the darkness or the light.
