I was up before sunrise, nothing but the dark around
Nearly brought tears to my eyes, to see them both still sleeping sound
Holy, the few but precious ones,
That hold up among this world held by strings
Hold close these things
It's getting harder all the time, to keep our souls sacred
When we're flooded by these sounds and sights that drown out our
Angels Let's rid this room of all that's unneeded,
All that's unworthy,
All that's unkind And keep close beside you those few you
Would die to or save in the fire to not dare leave behind
Hold close to these things
May you feel whole in this wonderful life
Come joy, come storm, come strife
Gotta hold close these things
So let us not be torn apart, from that which holds the light
Brings a shudder to your heart,
Echoes I love you when you call out the night
Time gives us this holiness, and time taketh away
So worry not for when it does,
Just take good heed on what to pray, on what to pray
Cause our days can be cold and cruel,
But inside our home we mine jewels,
Precious as children and one soul who's
Willing to walk through this world with you
Hold close to these things
May you feel whole in this wonderful life
Oh, and hold close to these things
Oh, and hold close to these things
Oh, and hold close to these things
May you feel whole in this wonderful life
Come joy, come storm, and strife, you got to hold on
To all the world, that means anything at all
With the storm breaking, and the night time coming
All you gotta do is hold, just hold close these things
