(Hold me, hold me)
(Hold me, hold me)
Hold me, my daddy (hold me, hold me)
I never felt lower than dirt on the floor (hold me, hold me)
I say hold me, my daddy (hold me, hold me)
I never felt like crying oceans before (hold me, hold me)
If this means war, why are we in it?
Might've fired off a couple of rounds, I didn't mean to begin it
If these are the bullets that every father and son must chew
Well, then hold me, my daddy, I forgot to say I love you
ย
Hold me, my daddy
It hurts me to see grown men fighting this way
I say hold me, my daddy
The young and the old dog aren't having their day
This civil war, why are we in it? (Hold me, hold me)
There's nobody on this flat earth would ever want to win it
If these are the hot coals that every father and son walks through
Well, then hold me, my daddy, I forgot to say I love you
ย
And if you agree, we can make amends
All this squabbling I've hated
In another time and another place where our history bends
We could've been the best of friends, and not merely related
ย
Well, these are the right words to say, they're difficult, but still true
Well, then hold me, my daddy, I forgot to say I love you
ย
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby)
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby)
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby) hold me, my daddy
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby)
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby) hold me, my daddy
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby)
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby) hold me, my daddy
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby)
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby) hold me, my daddy
(Hold him tight, hold him like he was a-)
