Only rain outside I'm in physical pain from the tears that I cried Oh I, I just lost my home It's like I woke up this morning, my friends had all gone But he's holding me He's holding me Saying it will be alright Oh, the man from the park Tells me he has to leave 'Cause his skin is too dark And my, my money is all gone Oh, and I just don't know How we do carry on But he's holding me He's holding me Saying it will be alright He would do anything for our love He'd swim me to the shore He would go anywhere fighting for our love When I can't do fighting anymore Oh, my children, they cry before school Where they learn to divide, to compete, and be cruel My neighbors, they do nothing but fight Every night I hear cries as I turn out the light But he's holding me He's holding me Saying it will be alright
