This was written in 1997, and is a wee boost to hang on . . . it's also an acrostic, the verses spell out the title - to help me remember the lyrics!
lyrics
Hang on to that little bit about you that says
You won't lay down and die.
Stand up for what you believe in
Don't give in to a lie.
Don't you know you're losing ground?
Only time will tell the tale of being lost or found.
Never nearer now you're facing up to what you've seen.
The clock is ticking ... can you tell me what it means?
Give some thought to what you need.
In the case of captive comfort only lost or freed.
Very clever now you're starting to look like you know.
Even still it seems there's nowhere left to go.
Into the darkness as it covers your face.
Now you know where to find the tears, tears that time can't replace.
