Holding On - Children 18:3

There’s a traitor in our midst

We’re all orphans of the storm

Safely stranded here together

Some have died but some were born

And everyone does their best

And you take what you get

But when the Limited airmail came it surprised me with

A picture postcard of a mourning dove

When I looked at the back it said: Dave

Holding on, it’s gonna take some time

But I will love you through the horror and lies

Arm in arm through the darkest night

I will love you, and eternity’s mine

If only tunnels were not collapsing

And the sun would not turn black

If only summertime wasn’t ending

And the dogs would lose my track

But apparently that’s just life

And you take what you get

Or is necessity pushing way too hard now?

But I’ve got that picture postcard here

Reminding me, when I get pushed down, I read: Dave

Holding on, it’s gonna take some time

But I will love you through the horror and lies

Arm in arm through the darkest night

I will love you, and eternity’s mine

But you just don’t quit

Carry me, carry me

No you just don’t quit

So every morning, every day

When I don’t feel the sunshine this will be me

Holding on, it’s gonna take some time

But I will love you through the horror and lies

Arm in arm though the darkest nights

I’ll be near you and eternity’s mine

Holding on, it’s gonna take some time

But I will love you through the horror and lies

Arm in arm though the darkest nights

I will love you and eternity’s mine
