Hold the Line

Testo

[Verse 1] Rain on the fire escape, sirens below A red thread tied where the cold winds blow You keep your promise with a bruised-up hand One small apartment, one city to stand [Pre-Chorus] You hear a cry through the walls and wires You climb higher than the rooftop fires [Chorus] Hold the line, don’t let the night decide You’re the spark above the traffic tide When the whole world falls, you still rise With a borrowed heart and fearless eyes Swing through the dark, leave a mark in the sky Every broken street gets another try [Verse 2] School books waiting by a kitchen chair Dust on your coat and a cut through your hair You miss the train, you miss the call But you never miss the ones who fall [Pre-Chorus] No crown, no army, no grand parade Just a promise that you never betrayed [Chorus] Hold the line, don’t let the night decide You’re the spark above the traffic tide When the whole world falls, you still rise With a borrowed heart and fearless eyes Swing through the dark, leave a mark in the sky Every broken street gets another try [Bridge] If they call you a menace, let them talk You know the weight of every sidewalk Power is nothing when love stands still So you choose the climb, and you always will [Final Chorus] Hold the line, don’t let the night decide You’re the spark above the traffic tide When the whole world falls, you still rise With a borrowed heart and fearless eyes Swing through the dark, leave a mark in the sky Every broken street gets another try [Outro] At dawn, the rooftops breathe again A quiet mask, a faithful friend
