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
WE'RE 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 WHEN
EVERYTHING FELL
WE'D BE HELD
THIS HAND IS
BITTERNESS
WE WANT TO TASTE IT
LET THE HATRED
NUMB
OUR SORROW
THE WISE HAND
OPEN SLOWLY
TO LILLIES
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 WHEN
EVERYTHING FELL
WE'D BE HELD
IF HOPE IS 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 WHEN
EVERYTHING FELL
WE'D BE HELD
YEAH HEH
WE'D BE HELD
OH OH OH OH
THIS IS
WHAT IT IS
TO BE LOVED
AND TO KNOW
THAT THE PROMISE
WAS WHEN
EVERYTHING FELL
WE'D BE HELD
THIS IS
WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE HELD
