HOLD A CHILD

When you don’t care if you wake up
Everything feels cold and dark
When your mind forgets what living is
And you’re done before you start


~~~*Chorus*~~~
Hold a child
Look into their eyes
Purity of trust
Embrace the smile
A dormant heart
Beating wild
Fight to survive
Hold a child
~~*~~

When you forget what beauty is
Don’t care to know it once again
When simple pleasures are long lost
And you can’t see beyond your pain
 

                                        ~~~*Chorus*~~~

Hold a child
Look into their eyes
Purity of trust
Embrace the smile
A dormant heart
Beating wild
Fight to survive
Hold a child

~~*~~

Hold a child
It’s a cleansing rain
A rainbow in the sky
Golden fields of grain
 

Gentle streams
whispering past
Waterfalls
Every blade of grass
 

Wildflowers
On a desert plain
Hold a child
Learn to live again

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Hold a child
Look into their eyes
Purity of trust
Embrace the smile 

A dormant heart

Beating wild
Fight to survive
Hold a child
~~*~~
Hold a child…
