She got dealt such a dirty deal
Tried to learn just how to feel
By listening to the anger
She thought she was the cause
Above the darker side and the dead of night
Heard the screams of another fight
Oh how does all this come out right
Without a sense of loss
When the child from within cries out
She should be told what it's all about
Sometimes parents argue
People disagree
They don't know who is wrong or right
So they hide their pain
And wait for night to fall and hide in slumber
No-one says a word
Remember things that you can do
Before your baby's gone
Let them know who loves them
To help them carry on
The passing of their childhood
It happens way too fast
Let them hold on
Hold on
Hold on and make it last
Twenty-one and on the run
She grew too fast to have some fun
Her eyes contain the sadness
Of a woman twice her age
She reaches for someone to hold
A dreadful tale that should be told
Has anyone around her
To help her turn the page
Remember things that you can do
Before your baby's gone
Let them know you loves them
To help them carry on
The passing of their childhood
It happens way too fast
Let them hold on
Hold on
Hold on and make it last
Let them hold on
Hold on
Hold on and make it last
