Holding a Monument - Herman Düne

Here is my lover

Though I haven’t met her

I long for her arms

And I wish she was here

A voice is my prayer

She says I’m not alone

I’m safe from all harm

And free from all fear

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million

Here is my brother

From a different father

And a different mother

But my brother all the same

We’re here on a journey

Unlike any other

But when we’re together

Life calls us by our name

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million

Your name sounds southern

But you’re like the North

I’m trying to be gentle

But I’ve got way too much force

You wish you had silver

And you wish you had gold

You wish you had someone

To have and to hold

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million

We’re holding a blessing

We’re holding a monument

Holding and kissing

Feels like a million
