Pierce Pettis
hold on to that heart
molly works on the children's ward
the ones that aren't gonna make it
she holds those little hands
and says a prayer sometimes
she just can't take it
I lay me down to sleep
pray my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
slouching at the bar
she says some people are hard
they look at me like I'm crazy
I say hold on to that heart
hold on to the love you know
whatever is true
whatever is loving and lives in you
think on these things
and hold on
I saw you being born
you'll probably see me die
and in between those two points
is so little time
I just hope you know
daddy loves you so
though I'm no always there to hold you
and when your world falls down
and I'm not around
just remember what I told you
