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 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
HWO 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 IS BORN OF SUFFERING
IF THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
CAN WE NOT WAIT, FOR ONE HOUR
WATCHIGN 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 EVERYTHIGN FELL
WE'D BE HELD
