[Verse 1]
I see the sky turn gray
Over the laundromat roof
Kids with their shoes in hand
And the old church bell goes mute
My mama said, "Stay close"
When the wind starts to call
I got your name in my chest
Like a light through the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
So if the water rises
I'll keep my hands up high
If the road runs out
You can ride with me tonight
Hear that promise grow
Through the smoke and the rain
We won't fold, we won't break
Say it again
[Chorus]
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
We been waiting on mercy
We been climbing higher
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
When the world starts shaking
You still lift me higher
[Verse 2]
The fridge hum low and tired
But your laugh fills the room
One pan on the stove
And a psalm in the tune
I seen hard days before
Seen the door swing fast
But your love stays warm
Like a coat in the back
[Pre-Chorus]
So if the water rises
I'll keep my hands up high
If the road runs out
You can ride with me tonight
Hear that promise grow
Through the smoke and the rain
We won't fold, we won't break
Say it again
[Chorus]
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
We been waiting on mercy
We been climbing higher
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
When the world starts shaking
You still lift me higher
[Bridge]
If the night gets heavy
And the dark gets loud
I will sing your name
Like a hand-me-down crown
For the ones still standing
For the ones who came through
There is room on the boat
And I'm saving it for you
[Chorus]
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
We been waiting on mercy
We been climbing higher
Hold me in the morning
Hold me through the fire
When the world starts shaking
You still lift me higher
