Holding on, holding on, just to see your face again,
Holding on, holding on, it wont be long until i see your face again.

Someone once told me the meaning of life,
that everyone lives then everybody just dies well,
I know that's not the truth of it all.
There has to be something there has to be so much more.

Holding on, holding on, just to see your face again,
Holding on, holding on, it wont be long until i see your face again.

My dearest brother, my heart and my soul,
why did you suffer and why did you have to go,
I believe that the heart remains strong and
someone once told me the good ones they all die young.

Holding on holding on just to see your face again,
Holding on holding on it wont be long until i see your face again.

This feels wrong, this feels very wrong, yeah this what I've become.
I'm walking around in the dark for the very first time.
I don't know what to do i keep on falling apart and i dont know why,
theres so much more to do and im trying to believe it,
trying to believe it, is it true?

And i care for you and this feeling will never change.
If time determines what we all do, then in time
I know i'll see you again. We are only on this earth for so long
Then you wake and in a moment your gone.
I only wish you didnt us so soon man,
I guess that heaven must have been calling you tonight.

And when i feel out of place I'll think of you my friend,
when im alone in the dark, you will bring me back again
and if you lend me you heart I'll take it to the end.

And i care for you and this feeling will never change.
if time determines what we all do, then in time
I know ill see you again. We are only on this earth for so long
Then you wake and in a moment your gone.
i only wish you didnt us so soon man i guess that heaven must have been calling you tonight.

just know that we wont walk away...

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
