"Hold On"

Please hold me closer dear say it's all right
I've awakened from dream to a terrible fright
As I lay sleeping the whole world has gone mad
From the streets of our cities to the hills of Baghdad

Our mothers and fathers are not as they seemed
They calmly look on as their children all scream
It's in this new nightmare we all must now live
Where there's no more to take and nothing to give

So, hold on, for the dark hour of night is calling
Hold on, as the towers around us keep falling

Like flies on your window too many to count
One swat does nothing but send them about
So they clean out the kitchens the floors and the halls
Yet the human condition still cling to the walls

So they tear down the houses around which it's built
To bury past feelings of conscience and guilt
If everything scatters it all will be lost
May the truth be uncovered no matter the cost

But, hold on, for the dark hour of night is calling
Hold on, as the towers around us keep falling

Please hold me closer dear say it's all right
I've awakened from dream to a terrible fright
