I heard that you were feeling down Your tired eyes won't lift from the ground And all of your sorrow spoke without sound All your thoughts conspire To put your grief to end But sometimes through the trials we must tread Hold steady, friend Time will rebuild you So hold on Hold on, old friend You're a mannequin, mute Your hands, moving slow But I've heard you speak In thunderous tone Your heart's like a river You'll soon find your flow All your bones conspire To keep you at unrest But sometimes through the fire we must tread Hold steady, friend Time will rebuild you So hold on Hold on, old friend.
