Hold on to that thought
before it slips away in the night
lest this all be forgot

When that bright light is caught
despite its erratic flight
hold on to that thought

Though the fight may leave you distraught
grip that radiance tight
lest this all be forgot

When all those wars have been fought
you’ll long for these lost delights
hold on to that thought

Though we may veer from the plot
let not the goal leave our sight
lest this all be forgot

For when finally we resign to rot
entrust those you love with this fatal plight
hold on to that thought
lest this all be forgot.
