Hold ft. Adrienne Paxton Gragg Lyrics

The innocent

Don't know the cold world we living in

Don't even know the condition of what we giving them

Such innocence is easily convinced

Hopscotch, swing sets, freeze tag, you're it...

Skipping in the wind, as little children live

Seize every moment like your last, given to live

Breathe in breathe out

Feel the cool breeze on your skin

Hear these words on the wind whip about…

Not a whisper nor a shout or a whimper calling out

It's a call for action in the classes and the house

These things, they tug on my heartstrings

The bully in the schoolyard, harsh things…

So could it be

That the beast in humanity

Is actually a need to feed individuality

Is it just me

Not every victor needs a casualty

Not every winner, a man to beat

Dark scenes encroaching into dreams

I can't sleep, I'm scrolling through my tweets

It may be 3 but the feeds they bleed with misdeeds

Belittling

All types of mean things

All types of sleaze all night it seems, are these

The types of seeds we had hoped to breed

And bring into this world

In hopes to lead us through the next century

Seems bleak but I believe hold

Oooooooh

Life is so fragile we should hold

It in our hands so lightly

Oooooooh

We don't know where it is we go

One day we'll hold hands tightly

The innocent

Don't know the cold world we living in

Don't even know the condition of what we giving them

Such innocence is easily convinced

Hopscotch, swing sets, freeze tag, you're it (you're it)…

Is it religion? Is it the money?

The politicking? Or just the money? (huh)

I'm thinking that you thinkers

You movers and you shakers

The Kings and Queens of this Earth

All the Presidents and Dictators...

Need to heed, the protests from demonstrators (see)

Occupy spread,

And into Tahrir Square

Crossed the Red Sea

Spring's rare air so they mask up in Damascus…

Do we dare care

How we dare stare n stand still when we see unfair's fair

We need some care bears, with care stares

Don't care where the whole globe is care scarce

The little ones are sensitive, to changes in our temperaments

See every change has some relevance

I say hate is irrelevant

I'm pained as I'm telling this we all chained to the elephant

That's in the room, we placing debts on the womb

We're making bets fossil fuels will make us slick

And not sick what about the moon?

A giant leap for mankind when we leave behind what we can't find

Never ever has there been skies so blue or clouds so white

To behold sights and sounds to fill, lives abound with life

We are not, creatures of time we are creatures of light

Creatures of light, people of light

People who are different but people alike

Teach all of the children we are people alike

Then see all of the children become teachers of right

Hold…

Oooooooh

Life is so fragile we should hold

It in our hands so lightly

Oooooooh

We don't know where it is we go

One day we'll hold hands tightly
