  • You heard my voice, I came out of the woods by choice
    Shelter also gave their shade
    But in the dark I have no name
    So leave that click in my head
    And I will remember the words that you said
    Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
    But I am sure we could see a new start
    So when your hopes on fire
    But you know your desire
    Don't hold a glass over the flame
    Don't let your heart grow cold
    I will call you by name
    I will share your road

    But hold me fast, hold me fast
    'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
    And hold me fast, hold me fast
    'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

    I wrestled long with my youth
    We tried so hard to live in the truth
    But do not tell me all is fine
    When I lose my head, I lose my spine

    So leave that click in my head
    And I won't remember the words that you said
    You brought me out from the cold
    Now, how I long, how I long to grow old

    So when your hope's on fire
    But you know your desire
    Don't hold a glass over the flame
    Don't let your heart grow cold
    I will call you by name
    I will share your road

    But hold me fast, hold me fast
    'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
    And hold me fast, hold me fast
    'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
    I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
    And I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
    The skies I'm under Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
