I'll Hold You lyrics

The smoke is clearing from the fight I'm searching through the fading light Where are you in this sea of red I pray you're not among the dead Then I see you on the ground Your blood is pooling all around Without a thought, without a choice I lift you up and find my voice I won't let go, I won't let you fall I'll carry you beyond it all I'll hold you through the storm of steel I'll hold you till your wounds can heal Across this field of death and pain I swear you'll see the Sun again I'll hold you like I always said I'll hold you till the dark has fled This is the promise that we made I'll never leave you, I will stay I see us running through the fields Two young girls with wooden shields We swore an oath beneath the trees To stand together, you and me We joined the army side by side We trained and laughed and sometimes cried You promised me you'd never go Now I'm the one who keeps that oath The arrows fall but I push through I made a vow, I'll see it through I'll hold you through the storm of steel I'll hold you till your wounds can heal Across this nightmare, through the flames I swear I'll get you home again I'll hold you like we always swore I'll hold you till we reach the door This is the bond that cannot break I'll carry you for both our sakes Every step is agony But you're still breathing next to me I see the line, we're almost there Your fragile breath still fills the air The world is fading all around But I won't let you touch the ground Just hold on, hold on to me We're gonna make it, we'll be free I'll hold you through the final miles I'll hold you through the tears and trials We've crossed the line, we made it through I told you I'd come back for you I'll hold you as the healers come I'll hold you till the pain is done This is the promise we both made And I'm still here, I never strayed I kneel beside you, tears are falling Your hand reaches up, you're softly calling You wipe my face with trembling care Your eyes reveal the love we share We made it home against the odds Two souls bound by sacred bonds Through fire, blood and endless fear I held you close and kept you here You here
