Let it go or hold it tight
Just know what it's for that you fight
Don't leave dreams under the dust so that they can't see them
Don't hide them under your shame
Saving us yesterday again
We thought it all, we thought it all before

Many things they stay the same
But we change them, just behind our eyes
Melting hearts and souls, uncontrolled twine no one can tame
Many things they look like lies,
But didn't change, away from our eyes
Melting heart and hands, an illusion no one can find

Slowly it fades
All that we made
All that we said
Tears that we shed

Birds in our voices creak and cry
They know they have said this all before we have, said this all before
Birds in our voices sing and fly
We know we have wished this all before they have, dreamed this all before

Slowly it fades
All that we laid
All that we claimed
All that we changed
Slowly we fade

Soldier, oh fighter of that young belief and
You keep running from words you send
You keep fighting feelings in your hand
I know its has been for so long
And you see, you're hurt, and we know it's wrong
And the chain at your wrist is broken but tight
And it keeps blurring your sight

The wise old words, they've been silent for many years
Because of sayings that came from old weary men without ears
And their wrinkled minds they have no tears
So they steal yours and put salt on your fears
But your dreams are strong and the man in you is sheer

In the stars and the sky, in the grass and the trees
In your bones and in your flesh it bleeds
Soldier, oh fighter on your weakened depths,
Keep fighting for the human left
Keep fighting for yourself

Slowly it fades
All that is dead
All that we dread
Love that we bled

Let it go or hold it tight
Do what you can, with all your might
And dream of the human dust so it can turn to light.
