Sons Of The East
Sons Of The East Lyrics

Boy walks south down on the broken track
A boy is walking towards the south on a difficult path

Father said my son come on back
His father called him to come back home

So much trouble I must leave behind
The boy has faced a lot of trouble and he is trying to leave that behind

You can still do well, let me remind
His father encourages him to do better in life

Hold, hold on
The boy is being asked to hold on and not give up

I've seen my eyes when they're clouded in dark
The boy realizes he has been in a dark place before

You call to your god like an old skylark
He prays to his God to help him overcome his struggles

This will show us that the devil preys
The struggles he's been through are a sign that the devil tries to bring him down

I am counting down all of my days
He is aware of the limited time he has

I hold on now, I hold on now
The boy is currently holding on and trying to overcome his difficulties

Come on back, my son, come on back my son
His father is urging him to return home

Before skies are red, and my day is done
His father is making the request before he passes away

Hold, hold on
The song ends with a reminder to hold on and not give up
