Hold You Up

When your daughter isn’t coming home

When you’re afraid of being all alone

When you’ve got hurt that nobody knows

Afraid of what’ll happen if you let it go

I will hold you up

As best I can

With these two little hands

When your mother is a wrecking ball

Whether you make it is too close to call

You’re worn right through like an old prayer shawl

Soaking in a puddle at the wailing wall

I will hold you up

As best I can

With these two little hands

As best I can

With these two little hands

My eyes are blurry so I cannot read your text

All of the life is draining out of me – what’s next

I’ll just go through the motions raking up these leaves I guess

One of these storms we’re gonna lose that tree but not yet

Will you hold me up?

As best you can

With your two little hands?

Will you hold me up?

As best you can

With your two little hands?

I will hold you up

As best I can

With these two little hands
