Hold Everything

Could you hear the car coming?

Did you stumble and fall?

Did you sleep without waking?

Were you ready to go?

Or did you feel the tightening pain in your chest?

Did you like down that morning and pray for eternal rest?

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

When you saw the wave rising

Did you run to the shore?

Were you halfway through coffee

When he broke down the door?

Did you hear the brakes sing as you stepped on the line?

Could you tell by the look in his eye that he'd do it this time?

Hold everything

Hold everything

Hold everything dear

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Were you swaddled in morphine?

Was she stroking your hair?

Was your granddaughter sleeping

In a hospital chair?

Were you pleading for mercy or begging for bread?

Were you shielding your children or lying alone in your bed?

Hold everything

Hold everything

Hold everything dear

Hold everything

Hold everything

Hold everything dear

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
