CHORUS:
|
I hear a voice crying out from the bellies of their mommas
|
Hold on for today don't worry about tomorrow
|
Though the rains of today seem to fall with sorrow
|
Let me be and we'll see this life for tomorrow
|
|
I hear a cry going out in the middle of the night
|
Under the scatter of the stars from a voice cracked with fright
|
And as the tears stripe cheeks from pain running south
|
The taste of salt hits the corner of her mouth
|
Resting on tied toungues with no breath left to speak
|
Sick of throwing up with no bread left to eat
|
Tired and confused from disillusionment
|
Sunny days turn to grey and away he went
|
Ripping the hooks out your heart from the promises at dark
|
The words found their mark as the sheets came apart
|
|
Every spoken word broken
|
As he flipped you a token
|
Kiss on the cheek as his feet found the open door
|
What's in store for you he didn't question
|
Shook his burden to the floor to leave you guessing
|
About the future and what it will unfold
|
But you're still standing there rockin' it so bold like
|
|
CHORUS x2
|
|
Holding on these songs of hope
|
I cannot sing them without you
|
Holding on, holding on
|
|
You can't just point a finger and say it's alright
|
Make a trip downtown and put it out of sight
|
Because two came together so strong one night
|
And two wrongs don't make one right
|
Giving a voice to the voiceless saying it's choiceless
|
'Cause they're priceless my princess
|
|
I feel the kicks and the churns give me a turn
|
And a shot at this world to fight the fight
|
To beat my plight and let my light shine
|
In this dark time with all its ways of wearing crime
|
And let this world drown in these ultrasounds
|
Hearing this heart beats speak sweet so profound
|
From beat down to higher ground
|
Where hope abounds with love that astounds
|
Les Miserables this ain't no miserable daughter
|
Calling you Cossette 'cause God will be your father
|
|
CHORUS x2
|
|
Holding on these songs of hope
|
I cannot sing them without you
|
Holding on, holding on
|
