about

When I was in university I would visit a nursing home regularly. While I was young, in prime years of life, entering that world gave me eyes to see beyond it. I saw people close to and waiting for death. The sadness of where many of the people I met found themselves as they neared the end of their journey on earth got me thinking and wondering, where is there hope for them? This song is mostly an entering into their world with a final word regarding hope.

lyrics

Lines on your face
Dark and wrinkled
Hoping and lonely
Whispering to yourself
Weak now and wondering
Who will hold you now

Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Yeah, Yeah
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Yeah, Yeah

Forgotten. You’re slow.
And feeling less and less at home
Dying and old
Sitting in the hallway alone
Not sure when the next day will come
When someone holds you in their arms
Not sure when the next day will come
When someone holds you in their arms

Lines on your face
Dark and wrinkled
Hoping and lonely
Whispering to yourself
Weak now and wondering
Who will hold you now
Ohhh, Ohhh, Who will hold you now? Yeah, Yeah
Ohhh, Ohhh, God will hold you now, Yeah
