...then Came a Sudden Validation

Hold on to me, hold on to me
 Hold on to me, hold on to me
 Oh, my love, don't you know a better time is here?
 And we've gotta hold on to it
 We've gotta hold on to it
 So hold me close and promise you'll never let me go
 You've gotta hold on to me
 You've gotta hold on to me
 You've gotta hold on to me
 You've gotta hold on to me
 If I'm overworked, love me when I'm overweight
 We've gotta hold on to this
 Yeah, we've gotta hold on to this
 Yeah, we've gotta hold on to this
 Yeah, we've gotta hold on to this
 I can hear the church bells ring
 As everything falls into its place
 So hold on, hold on
 Time will kiss away the scars
 That mark our feet from running in place
 For so long, hold on
 And if someone turned the light off on the city streets
 Would your heart know how to find me?
 Could it guide your feet?
 And if the day should come when we can find no peace
 We'll just keep begging to be baptized
 In the sunlight, in the sunlight
 In the sunlight, in the sunlight
 I can hear the church bells ring
 As everything falls into its place
 Hold on, hold on
 Time will kiss away the scars
 That mark our feet from running in place
 For so long, hold on
