Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling
Who told us we'd be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We're asking
why this happens to us
Who have died to live,
it's unfair
This is what it means
to be held
How it feels,
when the sacred
is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is
to be loved
and to know
That the promise was
that when everything fell
We'd be held
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley a
nd tomorrow
This is what it means
to be held
How it feels,
when the sacred is torn
from your life
And you survive
This is what it is
to be loved and
to know
That the promise
was that when everything fell
We'd be held
If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait,
for one hour
Watching for our savior
This is what it means
to be held
How it feels,
when the sacred
is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is
to be loved and to know
That the promise was
that when everything fell
We'd be held
