You cry yourself to sleep while you bury your emotions inside And dug yourself too deep and a part of you is starting to die You called out from under the fallout but none of the soldiers could hear a sound Thinking maybe 'someone will save me' but all of the life boats keep letting you drown So you tried to save yourself But they rescued somebody else Hold tight, it'll be alright Reach for the light at the edge of the dark Their words won't break your bones but they'll drive your spirit into the ground They took their sticks and stones, torch and tearing everything down No one turned up so you were burned up, stuck in the fire you couldn't put out Screaming "save me, send down some rain please" hoping the heavens could hear you shout So you tried to save yourself But they rescued somebody else Hold tight, it'll be alright Reach for the light at the edge of the dark Be not afraid, be not afraid Hope is alive, hope is alive Hope is alive, hope is alive Hold tight, it'll be alright Reach for the light at the edge of the dark
