Hold Your Fire

Deep in our hearts
we hold a longing for peace
We pray for a time
when the fighting will cease
Deep in our hearts
we hold a longing for peace
We pray for a time
when the fighting will cease
Our frightened children
running for their lives
Violence steals their innocence
Only sadness in their eyes
Just for being born
of a race or a creed
The fallen angels
of political greed
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold for those who love
for you, and for me
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold for those who love
for you, and for me
We are tired
We are tired
Two lovers torn apart
He weeps to the sky
She paid with her life
No time to say goodbye
Two lovers torn apart
He weeps to the sky
She paid with her life
No time to say goodbye
No, no time to say goodbye
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold for those who love
for you, and for me
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold for those who love
for you, and for me
We are tired
We are tired
