lyrics

Hold On

You helped me when I needed to
break free
You stole my heart and my
sanity
I want you to know
that you lost your hold
on me

You were hungry for a winning
team
or ticket to some
great lottery in the
sky

and I am finally wanting
to see the truth
like light it's heavy
with a permanence
like light it's heavy

and I want you to know
that you're writing rules
that anyone can easily
see through
cause your rules aren't made up
with truth

How can it be?
How can it be that playing
this life like a lottery
could be wise
How can it be?
How can it be that this life
could make anyone really
truly happy if you are

winning all the toys
think of all those girls and boys
that were playing alone
on the playground in school
How could it be wise
to devote all your time
to rising above them
(or rising above anyone)

and I want to heal the world
I don't even know the world
is this just some lie I've been sold
How could I heal things
that I can't hold
There's too many lives
to hold
How could I heal what
I can't know?

I can't even heal myself
and like 3 people around me
or two people around me
or one person
I can't even help one person
around me
or two people around me
I can try
I can try
but it feels like
flying in the dark

and that's the lie they sold
since the day that I was born
is that if you feel things
inside you
you should bring them
to the light
cause my light is not your light
and your light is not my light
and I am wanting to just see the light for me now.
