Hold On, Marie

Hold on, Marie
There’s a rainbow up ahead
I know you think your road’s already paved
Too many cracks, your path has caved
Too late to save
But you can walk tall Marie

Hold on, Marie
Don’t miss that sunset round the bend
The sky’s on fire burning orange and red
With violet colors that could wake the dead
Get out of bed
It’s time to rise again, Marie

I know your life’s not easy
You’ve seen this precipice before
Lay down the stones you carry
And fly once more

Hold on, Marie
The waves are churning out at sea
But tides can turn and carry you
To calmer waters of turquoise blue
You know what to do
Come on and wet your feet, Marie
