For Dear Life

I held on for dear life.
I held on to you.
As the wind grew tight.
from the depths she flew.
The shallow waters.
And the seeping sand.
Grew a sweeter man.
With a much sweeter land.
Open your eyes.
Grab on tight.
As the sun shines brighter.
Hold on for dear life.
Tonight's a colder breeze.
Makes it much harder to see.
But in the gates of heaven.
Makes it easier to breathe.
So hold on for dear life.
It's going to catch up.
Lift your spirits up high.
Like you'll never have enough.
