I Will Stand Fast - Fred Small
The echoes of childhood whisper violence,
Cold wind beating out of the past
Rage in your throat muffled silence,
Hold on -- I will stand fast.
In the darkness your guardians have left you
Cold wind beating out of the past
Not to hear your cries, none to defend you,
Hold on -- I will stand fast.
[Chorus]
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
You are safe in the daylight at last
Nightmare and fear
They have no power here,
I will stand fast
I will listen to the terrors that tried you,
Cold wind beating out of the past,
I will cradle the child that breathes inside you,
Hold on --I will stand fast.
Though you take the shape of a hundred horrors,
Cold wind beating out of the past,
Though you strike at me and flee into your sorrow,
Hold on -- I will stand fast
Birds flash on a branch in winter,
Cold wind beating out of the past,
Ice in the sun begins to splinter,
Hold on -- I will stand fast.
You will walk with no fetters to bind you,
Cold wind beating out of the past,
All the love you have wanted will find you,
Hold on, I will stand fast.
