We built a ship and we followed the river bed
And we're running from our fears
As we push for steam ahead
She moans just like a whale
Between the river and the rest
And the cracks that are in the hull
Are the cracks in all of us

And we'll hold on tight
And I'm married to the dream
That someday I'll feel the earth again
And the ground beneath my feet would fix the bones of a broken man
And we'll hold on tight
I will hold on tight

And if I'll fall, but if I'll fall
She will catch me
And we'll hold on tight
And if I'll fall, but if I'll fall
She will catch me
And we'll hold on tight
And we'll hold on tight

And we've built a ship
And she cradles us in her arms
And the fright never stops
It just settle on her heart

And we'll hold on tight
And we'll barge to sea
And we'll search the ocean for
And we'll find ourselves a home
That no one's ever seen before
And we'll hold on tight
Till there's nothing else

And if I'll fall, but if I'll fall
She will catch me
And we'll hold on tight
And if I'll fall, but if I'll fall
She will catch me
And we'll hold on tight
And we'll hold on tight
