I'm Hanging On

Maybe once or twice in my life

I thought I held your sweetness in my lungs

I finally breathed your breathe

Like I was supposed to all along

For a moment I was found

And there was you and nothing more

And all these cries transposed To sing your song

I'm hanging on

I'm hanging on

To the hope of an everlasting morning

To the moment when I saw

All these wrongs could be swallowed

After all I'm hanging on

Maybe once or twice in my life I thought

I held your glory in my sights In her radiant eyes

Or the mountain side

Flush with the same green

For a moment I was found

And there was you and nothing more

And all these colours were

Just an semblance of your touch

I'm hanging on

I'm hanging on

To the hope of an everlasting morning

To the moment when I saw

All my wrongs could be swallowed after all

I'm hanging on

Doubtful as I am you'll never take me

The hand that holds my hand he won't forsake me

Sinful as I am I won't be yours

In what once was washed a stain can never hold

I'm hanging on

I'm hanging on

To the hope of an everlasting morning

To the moment when I saw

How all these wrongs could be swallowed after all

I'm hanging on
