LYRICS
Hold
Hold your head up high in the storm
And pray
Pray Poseidon shan’t claim us all
’Cause everything I’ve done for you
Is what a captain does for crew
But I’m not sure I’m man enough to fall
I got the courage of a worm
And it’s going down
All the courage I was learned
It’s long lost now
And everything I’ve earned
Is breaking down around me
Plunging into the sea
Wait until the light has gone
And hope
Hope will carry through this storm
’Cause everything I’ve done for you
Is what a captain does for crew
But I’m not sure I’m man enough to fall
I’ve the courage of a worm
And it’s going down
All the courage I was learned
It’s long lost now
And everything I’ve earned
It’s breaking down around me
Plunging into the sea
My better angels leave me be
I am a failure as you can see
I’ve just my love left and though it’s real
It can not save me from the sea
I’ve the courage of a worm
And it’s going down
All the courage I was learned
It’s long lost now
And everything I’ve earned
It’s breaking down around me
Plunging into the sea
