Holding it Together

The past is at the window
But it doesn’t ring a bell
She pretends she doesn’t see it
But if she did she wouldn’t tell
She keeps still just like her mother taught her
And she doesn’t say a word
She’ll always be the daughter
Of secrets left unheard

Then she feels the morning
Bright upon her face
Holding it together
She runs the human race
Where will the future take her
Through the wind and rain
But hold her close to your heart
And keep each other sane

Secrets hide in shadows
That clamber up the walls
A hundred unread emails
A thousand unanswered calls

Then she feels the morning
Bright upon her face
Holding it together
She runs the human race
Where will the future take her
Through the wind and rain
But hold her close to your heart
And keep each other sane
