Lyrics
Holding on is hard to do
Holding on is challenging.
When all these thoughts fall through your fingers
When thoughts slip away without resolution.
The words linger on your tongue

Who are you?
A repeated question about identity and change.

And one day
A hopeful anticipation of clarity in the future.
The absence of clarity will fade
The expectation that confusion will eventually dissipate.
All the pieces of this puzzle fit back into place
A belief that all elements of life will fall back into place.
You will see
Assurance that the true self will be revealed.
The truest version of me
The genuine, hopeful, and kind version of the speaker.
The love in the eyes so hopeful and kind
The love expressed through hopeful and kind eyes.
A picture of moments that made these
