i believe

the quiet acceptance
of your unfortunate fate
leaves little to my imagination
of your amazing grace
i never knew a man so strong who could take quite so much pain
i never knew you'd be the one to show me the way
hold on a little longer
'cause soon you will be free
i'll do all i can in this life
to make the others see

i know why you cry so loud
any pain could not feel good
a prison for a home your whole life long
i'd change it if i could
i never knew a man so strong who could take quite so much pain
i never knew you'd be the one to show me the way
hold on a little longer
'cause soon you will be free
i'll do all i can in this life
to make the others see

the innocence that you don't leave behind
is hard for some to see
the love you'd give if given time
is always felt by me
you came down from your home of hills
to the valley of the dead
you came down to bring the love
so many never had
hold on a little longer
'cause soon you will be free
i'll do all i can in this life
to make the others see

your spirit roams beyond the gates
this i surely know
and for the day i will wait
when love lets you go
hold on a little longer
hold on a little longer for me
i'll do all i can in this life
to make the others see
i'll do all i can in this life
to show you i believe
