I heard this band the other day at Rice. They are a great group of guys with a down to earth demeanor and pretty funny too!
One of the songs they sang made me think of several folks around me..
Maybe it’s for you?
Lyrics
You cry yourself to sleep while you bury your emotions inside
And dug yourself too deep and a part of you is starting to die
You called out from under the fallout but none of the soldiers could hear a sound
Thinking maybe ‘someone will save me’ but all of the life boats keep letting you drown
So you tried to save yourself
But they rescued somebody else
Hold tight, it’ll be alright
Reach for the light at the edge of the dark
Their words won’t break your bones but they’ll drive your spirit into the ground
They took their sticks and stones, torch and tearing everything down
No one turned up so you were burned up, stuck in the fire you couldn’t put out
Screaming “save me, send down some rain please” hoping the heavens could hear you shout
So you tried to save yourself
But they rescued somebody else
Hold tight, it’ll be alright
Reach for the light at the edge of the dark
Be not afraid, be not afraid
Hope is alive, hope is alive
Hope is alive, hope is alive
Hold tight, it’ll be alright
Reach for the light at the edge of the dark
