Hold Me Now - RED
Lyrics:
Fall asleep to dreams of home
Where the waves are crashing
The only place I've ever known
Now the future has me
I see the fire in the sky
See it all around me
I said the past is dead
The life I had is gone
Said I won't give up
Until I see the sun
Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing
Waking up and letting go
To the sound of angels
Am I alive or just a ghost?
Haunted by my sorrows
Hope is slipping through my hands
Gravity is taking hold
I said I'm not afraid
That I am brave enough
I will not give up
Until I see the sun
Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing
Crying out
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me
As I burn
As I break
I can't take it anymore
I return to the place where
Where the water covers over everything
Rescue me somehow
Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing
Crying out
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me
Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing

I believe everyone needs someone in this world.
A strong shoulder,
a soldier or angel to call their own,
because so many of us are left on our own,
but we need to know there is a stronger power.
We need push back and scream,
forgive those who have wronged us,
and do the same to those we love.
Tears can fall for so long,
but fear can be diminished,
I am not here to promote world peace,
because world peace is just the root of the problem,
not for my eyes to have to witness crashing around me.
Waking up each day is a gift,
so I pledge to protect it,
I am not afraid,
I am brave enough,
just hold me now.
Fight back!
Push back!
Tear through the barriers we are given,
and be proud to live in the world we live in.
Because when our legs fail,
when we have hit our end,
I want to be happy knowing I have given it my all.
