Oh, raise your hand up child
Hold it up to the light
Those sparks in your eyes
Don't let them dim tonight

I know your eyes see fear
When lost they look around
Can't hope for too much dear
Your heart remains unfound

And cold
Is what wraps around you
To hold
Those wolves that hound you
Hear them howl
See what it amounts to
I know that scowl
I've worn that mask too

Gathered here, miles from home
Aching feet through the dirt
Dragging hearts around like stone
Notes of pain written on your bones

So raise your hand
So that I might find you
Not all roads should be walked alone
Sometimes the company we keep
Is what we end up calling home
