From the recording Wozo – Songs of Resilience
Lyrics
9. Hold on – Frances Crowhill Miller
A storm has crashed the southern shore,
pray to hold on.
Families scatter from their homes,
they pray to hold on.
Hold on…
As the waters rise, we cannot find
a place to hold on.
Swept by fear, the swelling tide,
we pray to hold on.
Washed upon a stranger's land,
pray to hold on.
Silent now we try to stand,
pray to hold on.
A human heart can outlive fear,
just got to hold on.
A shadow is cast when the sun is near,
just got to hold on.
