Early days, my smiles been taken away
Lying awake, reading things they say
Late into the night, I'm seeing scars in the sky
Feel the first drop of pain
I know I'll never be the same
Sticks and stones and mobile phones
Seeing all these kids alone this worlds a broken home
Words break bones like the guns been blown
There's a reason why you're here, and a place where you belong
So can you hold on
Can you just hold on
Please can you hold on
We can just hold on
Feeling brave, who's getting it today
Loosing my pain by making someone feel the same
What happened to me first guess what it happened to me worse
It's the universes way
I'll be sorry one day
Sticks and stones and mobile phones
Seeing all these kids alone this worlds a broken home
Words break bones like the guns been blown
There's a reason why you're here, and a place where you belong
So can you hold on
Can you just hold on
Please can you hold on
We can just hold on
Who do we look to in these crazy times
Even our leaders they have lost there lines
I feel uneasy like a Monday morning why
Free me from these people eating up my piece of mind
You cant have a plate, and take all you can take
You cant be the reason, no more candles on the cake
They can't make you pay a debt for every breath you make
It's Only love should take your breath away
So can you hold on
Can you just hold on
Please can you hold on
We can just hold on
Sticks and stones and mobile phone oh there's a reason
Why you're here and a place where you belong
