Hold the Line

[Verse 1]
The floor feels thin tonight
And every door is stuck
I stare down that heavy hill
And I’ve had enough

My hands are tired and cold
My name feels far away
But something in my chest says
Not today

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised
I’ve been counting every loss
Still I hear that small hard voice
Say, “Baby, get across”

[Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
When it all comes down
Hold the line
Hold the line
I won’t back down

[Verse 2]
The rain keeps tapping hard
On the glass of my room
I pick up what I dropped
And walk right through

One step, then another
No, I’m not made of stone
But I can keep on moving
On my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised
I’ve been counting every loss
Still I hear that small hard voice
Say, “Baby, get across”

[Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
When it all comes down
Hold the line
Hold the line
I won’t back down

[Bridge]
If I shake, let me shake
If I break, let me mend
I can start right here
And start again

[Final Chorus]
Hold the line
Hold the line
When it all comes down
Hold the line
Hold the line
I won’t back down

Hold the line
Hold the line
I can take this now
