Abandoned on the open water
Surrounded by the crashing waves
I shiver as the sky grows darker
And fear creeps up inside my veins
And now I can't help but wonder
How did I get in over my head
The ship and I are going under
But I can hear a voice that says

Hold on
Small one
I'm right beside you
When the storms they come
And all your hope is gone
You've got to
Hold on
Small one
I'll never leave you
When your world comes down
And when you come undone
Hold on

Washed up on a lonely shoreline
Surrounded by the sky and sand
I try but I can't build no shelter
And hope is slipping through my hands
Oh, I can't help but wonder
How did I get in over my head
I tremble at the coming thunder
But I can hear a voice that says

Hold on
Small one
I'm right beside you
When the storms they come
And all your hope is gone
You've got to
Hold on
Small one
I'll never leave you
When your world comes down
And when you come undone
Hold on

Your ship's going down
And you're going to drown
If you would just take my hand
I'd pull you back out
You're never too far gone or too far out to sea
Your ship's going down
And you're going to drown
If you would just take my hand
I'd pull you back out
You're never too far gone or too far out of reach

Hold on
Small one
I'm right beside you
When the storms they come
And all your hope is gone
You've got to
Hold on
Small one
I'll never leave you
When your world comes down
And when you come undone
Hold on

(Surrounded by the crashing waves)
