Hold On

Wake up, look up Things are not as they seem All those men in big white houses They are living a dying dream And those who know that to love is not to own Will never find themselves alone I have known a love so great It burns and aches and it takes All you've got not to fall completely apart When you watch it get torn away I have seen a hurt go so deep It learns to hide beneath your tissue Between your bones And one day you will find You're bearing a heavy load And I was raised to believe That a war is over when there's still bombs in the ground And broken bodies to be found And I was fooled into fighting For myself and for nobody else, nobody else Cause they said no one was gonna fight for me But I'm starting to look around I see a weary sea of people Trying to pull each other up from these trenches So hold on, hold on Things are not as they seem And you are not on your own Cause nobody enters this world alone We build high walls But someday they're bound to fall or be broken down And those who know that to love is not to own Will never find themselves alone
