I'll Hold You

Compositor: Anna Miriam Brown / Isaac J Brown

[Ashra]
Go to sleep, my child
Knowing that I won't be far
I'll come to bed in a little while
After assuring that we both won't starve
I'll sneak in after dark
I know you want me to stay here
But this is the way that I love you
I love you so much that I'd
Lose myself for your sake, dear
Even if it makes me feel far from you
Or too dirty to touch you

[Ashra]
I will love you from a distance, hoping one day I'll be different
Hoping I won't lose my soul to what I must do to uphold you
I won't think of how it hurts me, I won't ponder how I'm dirty
I'll just hope that after all is said and done, I'll still be worthy to hold you

[Jesus]
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

[Ashra]
I can't afford to be free
