Mother in a waiting room
Wondering if she'll hold him soon
In the darkness searching for some light
People say it'll be alright
People tell you to hold on tight
But what do you have to hold on to tonight?
Where will you find
Peace when you cry?
In these hard times
It's not in what you hold onto
It's in the one who's holding you tonight
It's like staring down a wishing well
The voice inside cries out for help
But you've never felt so helpless in your life
Time becomes the enemy
You just got to wait and see
While all the world is simply passing by
And where will you find
Peace when you cry?
In these hard times
It's not in what you hold onto
It's in the one who's holding you tonight
You are safe in the arms of the father
You are safe in the arms of the father
You are safe in the arms of the father
Where will you find
Peace when you cry?
In these hard times
It's not in what you hold onto
It's in the who's holding you tonight
