Softly, hours seem to rush you to your sleep Names and faces blurring into memories to keep Counting down the days Counting you away And while you breathe, you beg for more For time and hope and dreams But you're a whisper drifting down a ruthless flowing stream Keep your mind alight Keep your will alive Keep holding on Don't lose yourself to fear Some of the sorrow will turn into songs Threads of purpose though our lives Endless darkness and blinding light Make it real So stand your ground You'll bleed and hurt, but you will stumble on When nothing else is making sense and luck has let you down Make your losses count Make you hours count Keep holding on Don't lose yourself to fear Some dak and painful nights will turn into songs Threads of purpose though our lives Endless darkness and blinding light Make it real Threads of purpose through our lives We will stumble on Blinding darkness and endless light We will stumble on This is the time when the shadows grow longer When sharp blades grow blunt and you need to be stronger This is the point where you don't run for cover Where everything's urgent and nothing is over This is the truth and the heart of the matter If you cannot hold, then everything shatters
