Lyrics
Holding on to You
We had run for our lives,
and were miles from the shore.
Getting tired . . .
The blackening sky,
towered miles overhead,
laced with fire. . .
Knowing never to return,
to the homes that we had built.
Knowing everything was burned,
and nothing lives there still . . .
Holding on to you. . .
Running from the truth.
Fighting with the past.
See the die weve cast . . .
In the first light of day,
we saw evidence ahead,
of arrival . . .
And the hope wed felt,
was a desperate attempt,
at survival . . .
We had miles to go,
and we started running hard.
Still, we should have known,
not to let down our guard . . .
