Hold My End Up
Promises in the Wilderness: Delta Spirit's Call to Hold Strong
Lyrics
The sun fell, another night began
The day ended as the sun set, marking the beginning of another night.
Shots rang out, all the people ran
Gunshots were heard, causing people to flee in fear.
Confident in our innocence
Feeling sure of our lack of guilt or wrongdoing.
Promises out in the wilderness
Promises were made in an uninhabited and wild area.
I know, I said, I would
A declaration acknowledging a commitment or assurance.
I know, I said, I would
A repetition emphasizing the speaker's previous commitment.
The martyred sons of a forgotten fit
The sons who sacrificed themselves for a cause that has been forgotten.
Bend a knee for your favorite
Urging someone to show allegiance to their preferred choice or cause.
So foolish in their innocence
Foolishness displayed in a state of innocence.
Promises out in the wilderness
Promises were made in an untamed and deserted place.
I know, I said, I would
Reiteration of a commitment made earlier.
I know, I said, I would
Emphasizing the speaker's prior assurance.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end
A plea or demand to fulfill one's part of an agreement.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end
Repetition stressing the importance of upholding one's commitment.
It's not too late to turn your back on them
An opportunity still exists to avoid getting involved with certain individuals or groups.
What kind of friend would lead you to your death?
Questioning the loyalty of a friend who might lead to a destructive end.
Don't be foolish in your innocence
Warning against naivety and recklessness in a state of innocence.
Break the promise in the wilderness
Suggesting the breaking of commitments in a desolate and wild place.
I know, you said, you would
Acknowledging that someone else made a commitment.
I know, you said, you would
Reiteration of the other person's previous assurance.
I know
An affirmation or understanding of the situation.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end
A repetition of the plea or demand to uphold a commitment.
Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end
Reiterating the importance of fulfilling one's part of the agreement.
I know, you said, you would
Acknowledging that someone else made a commitment.
I know, you said, you would
Reiteration of the other person's previous assurance.
