Holding Back

	It’s in the darkness of believing
	It’s in the shadows where we have to stand
	Beside the loving and the grieving
	O I’ll never understand
	It’s in the way it has to reach us
	It’s in the restless of the shifting sand
	And all the truth it has to teach us
	O I’ll never understand

	Holding back to listen to the ocean
	Holding back to dance inside the storm
	I may be foolish but I don’t care
	As long as you are there

	From edge to edge we take our pleasure
	We follow blindly each insane command
	Judged by some eternal measure
	O I’ll never understand
	O and peace is child to no-one
	We’re held together by an endless strand
	First to be woven then to be undone
	O I’ll never understand

	Soon all the promises are broken
	And expectation passes underhand
	And not a gentle word is spoken
	O I’ll never understand
	It’s in the darkness of believing
	It’s in the shadows where we have to stand
	Between the loving and the grieving
	O I’ll never understand

	It' s in the darkness of believing
	It' s in the shadows where we have to stand
	Beside the loving and the grieving
	O I' ll never understand
	It' s in the way it has to reach us
	It' s in the restless of the shifting sand
	And all the truth it has to teach us
	O I' ll never understand

	Holding back to listen to the ocean
	Holding back to dance inside the storm
	I may be foolish but I don' t care
	As long as you are there

	From edge to edge we take our pleasure
	We follow blindly each insane command
	Judged by some eternal measure
	O I' ll never understand
	O and peace is child to noone
	We' re held together by an endless strand
	First to be woven then to be undone
	O I' ll never understand

	Soon all the promises are broken
	And expectation passes underhand
	And not a gentle word is spoken
	O I' ll never understand
	It' s in the darkness of believing
	It' s in the shadows where we have to stand
	Between the loving and the grieving
	O I' ll never understand
