(berry/buck/mills/stipe) This world is big and so-awake I stayed up late to hear your voice This light is here to keep you warm This song is here to keep you strong I made a list of things to say But all i really want to say All i really want to say is Hold her and keep him strong While i'm away from here Hold her and keep her strong While i'm away from here Hold her and keep him strong While i'm away from here I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold her I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold him Hold her and keep her strong While i'm away from here Hold him and keep him strong While i'm away from here
