Children 18:3 - Holding On lyrics

There's a traitor in our midst We're all orphans of the storm Safely stranded here together Some have died but some were born And everyone does their best And you take what you get But when the Limited airmail came it surprised me with A picture postcard of a mourning dove When I looked at the back it said: Dave Holding on, it's gonna take some time But I will love you through the horror and lies Arm in arm through the darkest night I will love you, and eternity's mine If only tunnels were not collapsing And the sun would not turn black If only summertime wasn't ending And the dogs would lose my track But apparently that's just life And you take what you get Or is necessity pushing way too hard now? But I've got that picture postcard here Reminding me, when I get pushed down, I read: Dave Holding on, it's gonna take some time But I will love you through the horror and lies Arm in arm through the darkest night I will love you, and eternity's mine But you just don't quit Carry me, carry me No you just don't quit So every morning, every day When I don't feel the sunshine this will be me Holding on, it's gonna take some time But I will love you through the horror and lies Arm in arm though the darkest nights I'll be near you and eternity's mine Holding on, it's gonna take some time But I will love you through the horror and lies Arm in arm though the darkest nights I will love you and eternity's mine
