These Hands I Hold
Greg Downey Bo Bruce Lyrics

There's a smoking gun where the sirens end
There's evidence of a crime where the rescue sounds fade away

Hear the battle drums, see the tribes descend
Listen to the war cries and watch the armies gather

We can stand apart, we can stand together
We have the choice to be united or divided

Can they leave your heart, and take me forever?
Will they break your heart and take you away from me permanently?

While the shrapnel falls, I hear your call
Even amidst chaos and danger, I hear your cry for help

You cry out for me
You need me to be there for you in this moment

And I will come, I will run
I promise to hurry to your side to help

To be by your side
I want to be there with you in this struggle

If the silence wins, I will guide you in
If the battle is lost, I will help you find your way to safety

I will be your voice
I will speak up for you when you cannot speak for yourself

They can take my soul, be the Hands I Hold
Even if they harm me, I will still be there to help and support you

I will sacrifice
I will give up something important to me to help you

And I watched you rise in the dawn of tears
I saw you overcome your sadness and face the day with courage

And I saw you fight all my darkest fears
I saw you stand up to the things that scare me the most

We can win this war if we rage together
We can triumph in this battle if we fight together with all our might

I will guard your door, I will stay forever
I will protect you from harm, and I will be with you as long as you need me

There's a war outside, one in here too
There's a conflict in the world, but there's also an internal struggle

Well we're done fighting, we only want the truth
We no longer want to fight, we just want what is honest and real

Well we'll find peace
We will eventually discover a moment of calm and tranquility

Well we're done fighting, we only want relief
We no longer want to fight, we just want to feel better and find comfort
