Told myself against her I could stand

But buckled beneath pressure by her hand

Hold on tight

Dig myself a home inside the sand

But tide will rise and reclaim her command

Hold on tight

Mother I'm scared your waters are much too high for me

Your changeable ways throw me for days as if lost on the sea

I float on your waves tossed in the salty spray

All of my limbs attempting to swim past debris in my way

Scratching through the silt I surfaced slow

Coming to the terms of what I know

Hold on tight

The water's calm but still I cannot rest

While storms are ever raging in my chest

Hold on tight

Mother I'm scared your waters are much too high for me

Your changeable ways throw me for days as if lost on the sea

I float on your waves tossed about in the salty spray

All of my limbs attempting to swim past debris in my way

From her I was made with love and care (from her I was made with love and care)

But by her hand I'm scattered everywhere (by her hand I'm scattered everywhere)

Hold on, Hold on

Hold on, Hold on

Hold on, Hold on

Hold on, Hold on

Tight

Hold on tight

Hold on tight

Hold on tight

Leaning back the water holds my weight

Now it will be my turn to create
