"Hold Out Your Heart"
--Francis Dunnery
Well I almost died on the I-95
Cuz I was driving in the wrong direction
Missed my turn and drove too far
I was headed for redemption
I was running south to look for the sun
But I knew I had to turn around
So I turned my car the other way
Medicine Man and snowflakes
Let your Spirit take your fears away
I said, hold out your heart
And let your Spirit take your fears away
Four-foot snowdrifts, nowhere to go
But the inside of a paranoid mind
I was fighting Death with an annihilated pride
Satan left his keys behind
I was forced to feel what I didn't want to deal with
We all have to grow up sometime
The umbilical cord gets chopped away
Lying old man and baby
Let your Spirit take your fears away
I said, hold out your heart
And let your Spirit take your fears away
How that snow took a long time to melt
But when it did, fresh water
I drank with a thirst of a dying man
I could feel the minerals from the Earth on my tongue
I was close to the Earth
We all must leave our mother's womb
What of the liars who claim to have found
Too scared to stand on the Earth's ground
We walk like flowers toward the Sun to know ourselves
The Medicine Man got plenty to see
The greatest beauty in the world
The snowflakes melt and leave behind
A powerful man and a baby girl
I said, hold out your heart
And let your Spirit take your fears away
I said, hold out your heart
And let your Spirit take your fears away
If you wanna fly away
You gotta hold out, hold out
You gotta hold out, hold out
Your love
Whoever you are
Wherever you are
Whoever you are
Wherever you are
Whoever you are
Wherever you are
Whoever you are
Wherever you are
