I'll hold you to your word
When this life falls to pieces
And I look around and see that
Nothing is what it used to be
And I'll hold you to your word
When friends turn to enemies
And things I thought were good
Turn out not to be
I'll hold you to your word
When disappointment overwhelms me
And change seeps through the cracks in my fingers
Even though I shield my eyes
Press my head into my hands
Like a child trying to conceal a tear-stained face
Like someone shielding their eyes from a light that's much too bright
But somehow,
Somehow it always seems to find its way through my fingers
Pushed so tightly together.
And though I resist, the light finds its way to my retina
Sooner or later I have to acknowledge that its daylight
And I'll open my eyes
Blinded by the sudden light, I see nothing
But somehow its better than when my hands were over my eyes
Because when I look up again
I see you
And I know I can hold you to your word.
