Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold on to my hand on the road,
and I'll carry the most of the load.
When the giants come walking around,
you don't look at the sky, just the ground.
And whenever you're scared, here's the trick:
you just smile till the fear doesn't stick,
and it's fine if the smile is a lie,
'cause a smile is what gets you by.
[Chorus]
If we ever get split in the fight,
you go on, keep your eyes on the light,
don't you wait, don't you slow, don't you stop,
keep on going. I'll catch you up.
[Verse 2]
Here's a knife. Keep it close at your back,
in your belt, underneath your old pack,
and I hope that it stays where it's at,
but if somebody grabs you, that's that:
you don't scream, you don't beg, and you bite
like a dog, till they're gone from your sight.
Kid, you've started to look just like me,
with that scowl, and it's scary to see.
[Chorus]
If we ever get split in the fight,
you go on, keep your eyes on the light,
don't you wait, don't you slow, don't you stop,
keep on going. I'll catch you up.
[Bridge]
There's a city of bells far away,
and it's lit up all night and all day.
I swear I will get you there too,
'cause that's all that I want for you.
And if ever it comes to a trade,
it'll be me. That's a deal that I made.
[Chorus]
If we ever get split in the fight,
you go on, keep your eyes on the light,
don't you wait, don't you slow, don't you stop,
keep on going. I'll catch you up.
