[Verse]
They say that she s comin
She s building up speed now
We just lost power
The island will be dark for days
Mom s in the kitchen
Fillin buckets with water
Dad s at the docks still
I hope he ll be comin home soon
[Chorus]
And we hold on
To what we can
And for awhile
We re Free
[Verse 2]
There s no sign of daylight
Since we put up the plywood
We re rationing candles
Cause who know how long this could last
The airports are closed now
To all that could leave here
All the rich tourists
Are safe at home watching the news
[Chorus]
And we hold on
To what we can
And for awhile
We re Free
[Bridge]
And here she comes
And here we go
[Verse 3]
The waves come in towers
They re crashing on beaches
We re on the hill
But they say it might reach us this time
There goes the front door
Ripped right off the hinges
We run to the back room
And mom won t let go of my hand
[Chorus]
And we hold on
To what we can
And for awhile
We re Free
[Instrumental]
x2
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
The news crews are gone now
We re yesterday s story
Power and water and safety
Are tomorrows dream
The whole world goes on
Like the storm never happened
The government s busy
Planning its next great campaign
[Chorus]
And we hold on
To what we can
And for awhile
We re Free
[Outro]
x2
