Lyrics
HOLDING BACK A HURRICANE
Verse 1:
Mother standing in a welfare line
Her little baby's crying
Got two more running around
Falling further and further behind the harder she's trying
Chorus:
She's HOLDING BACK A HURRICANE
Trying hard to fight the wind and the rain
If she thinks about it too much it's gonna drive her insane
She's HOLDING BACK A HURRICANE
Verse 2:
Daughter staring in her Daddy's eyes
He doesn't recognize her
His memory's fading away
Losing him a little more each day is so agonizing
Chorus: Repeat
Verse 3:
Doctor cradling a newborn babe
It's one that he can't save
It's only a matter of time
Being strong for the parent's sake but inside he's dying
Chorus: Repeat
Tag:
If he thinks about it too much it's gonna drive him insane
He's HOLDING BACK A HURRICANE
