Story Behind the Song
Holding on to those you love when crises beyond your reach take over.
Lyrics
HOLD TIGHT, MY BLOOD
Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
I hold thee to my chest
Watch with fear a waning ear
And then we go to rest
I turn my eye to our fair sky
As happens every morn
To these halls and crumbling walls
My blood, I am sworn
Hold tight, my son, you're not the one
To wage this war alone
Upon your knees you stated your pleas
And now the time has come
To hold you when you triumphed
And when you've lost your step
Hold tight, my son, it's every song
We've laid our hearts down for yet
Well I know we can't see everything straight
And all we've got is our home
But as first one here throughout the years
I pledge my skin and bone
Hold tight, my dear, there once was a year
When you were born anew
And everything I had to fear
I gave a welcome to
But now it seems to look away
Is to begin to run
Well if we wind up 'cross divides
You and I are one
Hold tight, my love
I have no questions to answer to
Sacrificed them all when we became
The iris I look through
Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
I hold thee to my chest
Watch with fear a waning ear
And then we go to rest
Well I know we can't see everything straight
And everything isn't set
Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
But they ain't got us yet
Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
But they ain't got us yet
