Don't let go
take it step by step
I say when I feel like I need to run
take it breath by breath
I say when I feel I took my last one
take it hit by hit
I say when I feel so overwhelmed
Take it day by day
I say when I feel no more days will come
take it night by night
I say when the nightmares make me numb
take it fight by fight
I say when my enemies hold a gun
take it prayer by prayer
I say when I feel like I have none
take it word by word
I say when I am forgotten and shunned
take it sunrise by sunrise
I say never know what tomorrow holds
take it not by diguise, cause you despise
I say when I feel oh so lonely and cold
take it not by the end prize
I say cause I truely know
take it not by others lies
of love and trust and gold
but take instead help to child's cries
cause they don't understand why their parents scold
and instead to those who wish to die
because their pain was not controlled
take instead to tired mothers sighs
who just need a sign of hope
take instead to one with pain in their eyes
and help their hope remold
take it to those who hate goodbyes
and be there and don't let go
