[Verse]
Hold your baby close tonight no time to play
The coward’s shadow stretches wide it blocks the day
Like a child he stumbles blind his games are cruel
We’re left to mend the broken world his careless rule
[Chorus]
Hold your baby so so tight feel the world shake
Pray for strength to shield them from the mess he makes
Innocence caught in the storm it wasn’t their fight
But love’s the only anchor in this endless night
[Verse 2]
His hands are small but the damage is vast and loud
He laughs while the skies grow darker with the cloud
We watch the chaos ripple far beyond the sea
A child plays with fire but we bear the fee
[Chorus]
Hold your baby so so tight feel the world shake
Pray for strength to shield them from the mess he makes
Innocence caught in the storm it wasn’t their fight
But love’s the only anchor in this endless night
[Bridge]
And when the dust settles and the world is torn
We’ll rebuild with hands worn and hearts reborn
The coward may crumble the strong will remain
Love will rise like the sun after endless rain
[Chorus]
Hold your baby so so tight feel the world shake
Pray for strength to shield them from the mess he makes
Innocence caught in the storm it wasn’t their fight
But love’s the only anchor in this endless night
