[Verse]
Mama's rocking in the chair tonight
Her baby's tears reflecting the firelight
A storm brews outside these walls we built
But love's the shield against the guilt
[Chorus]
Hold them tight tonight oh hold them close
In a world where the dark seems to boast
The tyrant's roar is a coward's cry
But love will soar and never die
[Verse 2]
The winds howl with a hollow tone
He sends the brave but stands alone
A leader's strength ain't in the fight
It's in the heart that burns so bright
[Chorus]
Hold them tight tonight oh hold them close
In a world where the dark seems to boast
The tyrant's roar is a coward's cry
But love will soar and never die
[Bridge]
Forefathers dreamed of brighter days
Not this chaos wrapped in a haze
Their voices echo through the night
A whisper telling us to make it right
[Chorus]
Hold them tight tonight oh hold them close
In a world where the dark seems to boast
The tyrant's roar is a coward's cry
But love will soar and never die
