lyrics

Sitting around a table with familiar faces
Where are the old ones passed away
Feels like we’ve gone and lost all of our graces
Nobody here to teach us how to laugh and play

You know I miss the comfort of their voices
They left us much too early and they were strong
The struggle and the pain too much to bear
Life didn’t wait for you to get it wrong

And hold on to your mothers brothers
And hold on to your sisters sons
Don’t forget the places that they showed you
They said hold on son, you’ve got to stay strong
They said hold on son, this is where you belong

Years have gone between us, the stories begin to fade
Hold on to those memories of the good times on the way
And sometimes when I remember, I laugh every now and then
Just a glimpse or a memory, a hope to try again

And hold on to your mothers brothers,
And hold on to your sisters sons
Don't forget the places that they showed you
They said hold on son, you’ve got to stay strong
They said hold on son, this is where you belong

And every single moment
I get my strength from that special place
Courage and a heart to sing
Stand strong in the hands of grace
And as we move forward
A special place will always be
Right here in my heart
Is the love you gave for me

And hold on to your mothers brothers
And hold on to your sisters sons
Don’t forget the places that they showed you
They said hold on son, you’ve got to stay strong
They said hold on son, this is where you belong
They said hold on son, you’ve got to stay strong
