Qone, Adrienne Paxton Gragg - Hold Lyrics

The innocent
Don't know the cold world we living in
Don't even know the condition of what we giving them
Such innocence is easily convinced
Hopscotch, swing sets, freeze tag, you're it...

Skipping in the wind, as little children live
Seize every moment like your last, given to live
Breathe in breathe out
Feel the cool breeze on your skin
Hear these words on the wind whip about...
Not a whisper nor a shout or a whimper calling out
It's a call for action in the classes and the house
These things, they tug on my heartstrings
The bully in the schoolyard, harsh things...
So could it be
That the beast in humanity
Is actually a need to feed individuality
Is it just me
Not every victor needs a casualty
Not every winner, a man to beat
Dark scenes encroaching into dreams
I can't sleep, I'm scrolling through my tweets
It may be 3 but the feeds they bleed with misdeeds
Belittling
All types of mean things
All types of sleaze all night it seems, are these
The types of seeds we had hoped to breed
And bring into this world
In hopes to lead us through the next century
Seems bleak but I believe hold

Oooooooh
Life is so fragile we should hold
It in our hands so lightly
Oooooooh
We don't know where it is we go
One day we'll hold hands tightly

The innocent
Don't know the cold world we living in
Don't even know the condition of what we giving them
Such innocence is easily convinced
Hopscotch, swing sets, freeze tag, you're it (you're it)...

Is it religion? Is it the money?
The politicking? Or just the money? (huh)
I'm thinking that you thinkers
You movers and you shakers
The Kings and Queens of this Earth
All the Presidents and Dictators...
Need to heed, the protests from demonstrators (see)
Occupy spread,
And into Tahrir Square
Crossed the Red Sea
Spring's rare air so they mask up in Damascus...
Do we dare care
How we dare stare n stand still when we see unfair's fair
We need some care bears, with care stares
Don't care where the whole globe is care scarce
The little ones are sensitive, to changes in our temperaments
See every change has some relevance
I say hate is irrelevant
I'm pained as I'm telling this we all chained to the elephant
That's in the room, we placing debts on the womb
We're making bets fossil fuels will make us slick
And not sick what about the moon?
A giant leap for mankind when we leave behind what we can't find

Never ever has there been skies so blue or clouds so white
To behold sights and sounds to fill, lives abound with life
We are not, creatures of time we are creatures of light
Creatures of light, people of light
People who are different but people alike
Teach all of the children we are people alike
Then see all of the children become teachers of right
Hold...

Oooooooh
Life is so fragile we should hold
It in our hands so lightly
Oooooooh
We don't know where it is we go
One day we'll hold hands tightly
