Held Lyrics

edit | print

Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we’d be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
Were asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it’s unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We’d be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We’d be held
If hope if born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our savior
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We’d be held
Repeat Chorus

Two months is too little  
They let him go  
They had no sudden healing  
To think that providence  
Would take a child from his mother  
While she prays, is appalling  
Who told us we’d be rescued  
What has changed and  
Why should we be saved from nightmares  
Were asking why this happens to us  
Who have died to live, it’s unfair  
This is what it means to be held  
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life  
And you survive  
This is what it is to be loved and to know  
That the promise was that when everything fell  
We’d be held  
This hand is bitterness  
We want to taste it and  
Let the hatred numb our sorrows  
The wise hand opens slowly  
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow  
This is what it means to be held  
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life  
And you survive  
This is what it is to be loved and to know  
That the promise was that when everything fell  
We’d be held  
If hope if born of suffering  
If this is only the beginning  
Can we not wait, for one hour  
Watching for our savior  
This is what it means to be held  
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life  
And you survive  
This is what it is to be loved and to know  
That the promise was that when everything fell  
We’d be held
