Hold On

[Telperion]

You're on the ledge
Hanging by a thread
There's a long way to fall
To answer eternity's call
This world can be so cold
There are a million reasons to go
It's not easy to remain
When everything seems so stained
When it all feels so wrong
Where do you really belong?

It would be easy to let go

There's so much you cannot know
So much you never will
Dreams are often killed
And left to decay
Why should you stay?
It's a long way down
To the merciful ground
It's the easiest way out
This plunge to the south
To leave it all behind
To finally silence your mind
Hell is something you don't fear
Maybe you've already been there
Heaven might be a lie
This is something you cannot deny
Who dried the secret tears you cried?
They left you with nothing but shame
They took away everything but your pain
It's often desolate here on this plane
Where nothing is what it seems to be...
You were searching for that sweet melody
But life has become a terrible symphony
Drained and diffused of all sweet harmony...

I'm sorry, I know, and I see
It's not easy to Be
But now please listen to me

Yes, you're on the ledge
Hanging by a thread
And it's a long way to fall
To answer eternity's call
Yet in spite of it all

Hold on
Hold on

Don't forget how far you've come
Turn your face towards the sun
Even when unseen it always shines
Now rest your weary mind

Hold on
Hold on

Now is not your time
Calm your restless mind
Look and you will find
Much that is beautiful,
Much that is sublime

Hold on
Hold on

Your future is yours to design
Forget all that is unkind
Take every precious moment of your time


And hold on

Mesmerising, I was drawn in immediately.

This would make great lyrics for a song.

(hint for the musically inclined forum members) ;)
