Hold on Heart

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (6-20-05)

Hold on heart

Don't give up yet

Remember to keep beating

Please don't forget

Got to get through this

Find the other side

Got to keep going

Need to stay alive

World is still outside

Beautiful and cruel

We are born into it

Victim of its rules

We all have weakness

We all will fall

Get lost in the darkness

We lose the sound of the call

Life can rip you to the core

Till you're broken and beat

Pain can overcome you

Get buried in the grief

The reason to carry on

May not always be clear

When you find it, don't let it go

Shout it out so all can hear

Because events will conspire

Crash down over you

Take you the very edge

Force you to choose

Reach for calming Grace

Reach for faith and Hope

Love will gather round you

Give you the strength to cope (cleanse you cleaner than soap)

Everything will work out

All according to the Plan

No one on earth can stop it

It's beyond the reach of man

So all we can do is live

Live as best you can

Be kind to each other

Keep an open hand

So Hold on heart

Don't you give up yet

Remember to keep beating

Please don't forget

Your time's not done here

More good can come from you

So until you are called back home

There's still work to do

Hold on heart, Hold on heart

Hold on Heart, Hold on heart

Hold on Heart
