Told myself against her I could stand
But buckled beneath pressure by her hand
Hold on tight
Dig myself a home inside the sand
But tide will rise and reclaim her command
Hold on tight
Mother I'm scared your waters are much too high for me
Your changeable ways throw me for days as if lost on the sea
I float on your waves tossed in the salty spray
All of my limbs attempting to swim past debris in my way
Scratching through the silt I surfaced slow
Coming to the terms of what I know
Hold on tight
The water's calm but still I cannot rest
While storms are ever raging in my chest
Hold on tight
Mother I'm scared your waters are much too high for me
Your changeable ways throw me for days as if lost on the sea
I float on your waves tossed about in the salty spray
All of my limbs attempting to swim past debris in my way
From her I was made with love and care (from her I was made with love and care)
But by her hand I'm scattered everywhere (by her hand I'm scattered everywhere)
Hold on, Hold on
Hold on, Hold on
Hold on, Hold on
Hold on, Hold on
Tight
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Leaning back the water holds my weight
Now it will be my turn to create
