Lyrics

Holdin’ It Down”
In Washington’s shadows, they tore my world apart,
CPS came knockin’, lies stealin’ my heart.
Hudson and Hallie, my babies, my light,
Taken for nothin’, in the cold of the night.
Bell’s eyes were rivers, my tears fell like rain,
We fought for our kids, but they brought us pain.
They said we were wrong, built a case on deceit,
Left us broken and beggin’ at injustice’s feet.
Hudson and Hallie, don’t you cry, don’t you frown,
Your daddy’s still fightin’, I’m holdin’ it down.
Bell’s up in heaven, her love’s all around,
She’s watchin’ our babies, though they put her in the ground.
Ben’s by my side, and Sam’s love is true,
I’m comin’ to save you, I’m breakin’ through.
Bell’s heart couldn’t take it, the ache was too deep,
Her soul slipped away while I held her in sleep.
The pain of this life, it crushed her sweet flame,
But her spirit’s my strength, I still whisper her name.
They took my wife’s joy, left me lost in the fight,
But I see her in Ben, in his eyes every night.
Hudson and Hallie, you’re my reason to stand,
I’m carryin’ your love in these work-worn hands.
Chorus
Hudson and Hallie, don’t you cry, don’t you frown,
Your daddy’s still fightin’, I’m holdin’ it down.
Bell’s up in heaven, her love’s all around,
She’s watchin’ our babies, though they put her in the ground.
Ben’s by my side, and Sam’s love is true,
I’m comin’ to save you, I’m breakin’ through.
Thank the Lord for Sam, she’s a gift from above,
With a heart full of courage and a mother’s sweet love.
She’s holdin’ me steady, helpin’ mend what’s been torn,
Together we’re risin’, through the grief and the storm.
Bell’s smilin’ down, I can feel her embrace,
Sayin’, “Keep on, my love, you’ll see their sweet face.”
Verse 3
I’m engaged to a future, but my past’s still alive,
Every tear that I shed keeps your memory revived.
Ben’s growin’ so strong, he’s got his momma’s bright spark,
But Hudson and Hallie, you’re the beat of my heart.
I’m searchin’ these mountains, every valley, every town,
No lie can keep me from turnin’ this around.
With faith as my armor and love as my guide,
I’ll bring you both home, with Ben by my side.
Hudson and Hallie, don’t you cry, don’t you frown,
Your daddy’s still fightin’, I’m holdin’ it down.
Bell’s up in heaven, her love’s all around,
She’s watchin’ our babies, though they put her in the ground.
Ben’s by my side, and Sam’s love is true,
I’m comin’ to save you, I’m breakin’ through.
So hold on, my babies, your daddy’s still here,
With Sam and with Ben, I’m conquerin’ fear.
Bell’s light shines forever, guidin’ me to the day,
When we’re all together, and the pain fades away.
Hudson and Hallie, I’m comin’ to save you,
Like your momma would’ve, I’ll never betray you.
