Holding On - Mr. J. Medeiros, Tara Ellis

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

I can hear your cries

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

It will be all right

If just for now you could focus on the roses at your feet

And all the poses that we keep

Hold them frozen in a mental feature

So when you sleep the only messages that creep

From the part of you that speaks

Are the words, «I am a gentle creature.»

Maybe then with our fingers like pens

We can draw upon our skin holy images of matrimony

But how and when seem to come now and again

From your brow to your chin

Your confession is that we are lonely

If we could only escape through the memories

That take precious moments like these

From a youthful heart

I would hold you and thank you

For everything that makes you a blessing

And see you for who you truly are

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

I can hear your cries

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

It will be alright

When what was

Rings louder then what is

I doubt there ever will be

Space for a new star

In all of the cosmos we focus on what cost most

Memories of pain in a new scar

Well it’s to those stars and underneath you

The distance these loving arms would reach

And when you think I’m hard to find

In a world without options

Your suddenly stopped by a stranger and find later

That those arms are mine

In a better time and place

A feather of Divine grace fades

Into white parades of free birds

Defined within their chase

I find that I’ve been waiting my whole life

Just to say these words

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

I can hear your cries

I’m on your side

Dark days cold nights

This is what we’re going through

Keep holding on

It will be all right
