Lyrics
Roots in the soil, they run deep
Letting this willow grow as high as it can reach.
Climbing for the sun, climbing for the sky
But this willow would go nowhere without roots to hold on tight.
Can we hold on to what holds us together.
Nails and mortar holding up these walls
Without either one of them, this house would surely fall
Just like beams of steel reaching shore to shore
Keeping this town together.
Can we hold on
To what holds us together
Lord you know, it’s now or never
Hold on to what holds us together.
They’ll break us if we let ‘em,
So let’s hold on to what holds us together.
City streets are bustlin’, shoes running around
People forget gravity keeps our feet on the ground.
Just like a zipper holding end to end,
Keepin’ us from remembering where we began.
All the children reaching up for a hand,
All the mothers and fathers sailing ships across the land.
Can we hold on
To what holds us together
Lord you know, it’s now or never
Hold on to what holds us together.
They’ll break us if we let ‘em, so let’s
Hold on to what holds us all together.
All the children reaching up for a hand,
All the mothers and fathers sailing ships across the land.
Can we hold on
To what holds us together
Lord you know, it’s now or never
Hold on to what holds us together.
They’ll break us if we let ‘em, so let’s
Hold on to what holds us all together.
Holds us all together
Hold us together
