David Knopfler - Dedication lyrics

For those who've died - behind walls For those who've cried - unanswered calls For those who only follow - where giants walked For those whose tongues are tied and cannot talk. For there's none so blind - as those who will not see Nor so unkind as those unfree This is my dedication - another song All I'll have to give I do, when something's wrong When you can't do right Then you've gotta do wrong You can't be weak So you gotta be strong If you look for friendship And find that you're alone You'll keep holding on, holding on You'll keep holding on, holding on You've been holding on, holding on so long. If you see me through the window Or spy me through the door What would you want my smile to tell you D'you think I've found a cure Ain't no potions - ain't no clues I dedicate this one - to you and you and you. You can't see the wood - you can't see the tree You make a god of hatred - for your miseries This is my dedication - another song All I have to give I do, when something's wrong. When you can't do right Then you've gotta do wrong You can't be weak If you're alone If God know he don't tell you Why the wicked are so strong But you've been holding on, holding on You've been holding on, holding on - so long. So long.
