Grab Hold

(album: Butterfly Rocket - 1996)

Cover the deeds you have done
Time with your father teaching you
That we should never be one
To hold out a hand to help a man
Crying for help in another tongue
And cheek as you call it justifying

Pulling the reins on your child
By teaching some people are better off
Leaving what they don't know unknown
To me why we act this way now
When there is so little time
To choose what to cherish is a crime

It makes the world turn over and over...

People grab hold
There's a world a turning and it won't take no for an answer, my friend
Belong to each other or the world will turn faster and faster
Grab hold or the world's gonna throw us

Where are the changes we say we make?
Each other unhappy being here
And it's no better over there
Well maybe the grass is greener of someone
Trying to belong in a place
Where the people can be cruel to your face

It makes the world turn over and over...

People grab hold
There's a world a turning and it won't take no for an answer, my friend
Belong to each other or the world will turn faster and faster
Grab hold
There's a world a turning and it won't take no for an answer, my friend
Belong to each other or the world will turn...
