Lyrics

HOLD IT UP TO A HEART
KERRY PATRICK CLARK

How did it come to this me standing on the edge
My hope is holding on this pebble covered ledge

I barely see you there you guard the other rim
Of our great heart’s divide your footing just as thin

I lined up alibis my fingerhold excuse
I know you saw the lies you always wanted truth

I want to call to you and say I’ll fight for us
But shouting is no use each echo looses trust

CHORUS
I/we can only hold it up, hold it up, hold it up to a heart
Let the love shine through and if it’s aim is true love will
Shine it’s light through this dark
So I hold it up to a heart

I claimed each mountain top you named each valley low
We’ve reached this canyon wide our map just did not show

And so I kick my stones I see you sift your dirt
The only bridge we know is paved with heavy hurt

CHORUS
I/we can only hold it up, hold it up, hold it up to a heart
Let the love shine through and if it’s aim is true love will
Shine it’s light through this dark
So I hold it up to a heart

BRIDGE
Spirit of this canyon I know what is true
When my heart reminds me I can see right through

CHORUS
I/we can only hold it up, hold it up, hold it up to a heart
Let the love shine through and if it’s aim is true love will
Shine it’s light through this dark
So I hold it up to a heart
