Holding This String

I will go, life is so long,
Love goes on, feeding this song.
Where was that love of mine?
Why is she not here?
Now I see why, love equals fear.
I don’t know, where did she go?
I don’t know, I don’t know . . . .

Day by day,
I’m loving and I know that you care,
Call me girl,
and it will be, and it will be . . . . LOVE!

Young one's of the world, take note of what I'm singing,
Hope of the world, they ignore what your saying,
Your saying, you're much too young, they say . . . .

Half of them do say, half of them do say . . . .

Don't give it up, my friend,
Don't take it back, my friend,
Don't ever cry, my friend.
Don't, whatever you do, whatever you see,
Whatever you know!

Lonely, lonely, lonely!

Asking the time off people,
Asking for the break you work for.
Stating the fact that you know where you're at.
Askin' for skills, can they stop what they're doin',
Ask for the deals but we're too busy blowin'.

"Come live the love" all the wedding bells say,
I feel alone and I'm loving my way.
All of the time and you're feelin' right down,
Don't ever, don't ever, don't ever doubt!

I'm holding the, holding the, holding this string,
Don't wanna' do anything I can't sing!

Who are you? This is for you!
I'm just holding this string down today!

Hold you down, when I want to, hold you down,
When I feel low . . . .

Holding this down I've learnt one thing,
All of you hero's have gone down the drain!
Holding the note, and you know when it's right,
Holding the news and you think it's alright.

Hold it! Wait! Wait just a little while,
Caus' I'm alone now, and I need you,
To hear me, and I'm getting so tired . . . .
