Don't Let Go

Hello, thevoiceinside here
.
.
I was in Haiti a week before the earthquake. I was working in orphanages. When I heard the news of the quake, I was devastated. I am heart broken. In my despair, I wrote this. If you have questions pertaining to the conditions there, IM me. DO NOT post questions about Haiti on this thread. Thank you. All the orphans that I worked with are alive but they're starving.

If you would like to reach out and help my orphans, go here: https://www.foundation4children.net
The money will go to them within a few days to buy them food and emergency supplies.

I'm not sure if it's a song or just a poem but I put a chorus in anyway.

Thank you

Don't Let Go


The rain falls all around
And my world...
It's crashing down

Your eyes tell me you are afraid
Hang on my little one, be brave

That night drifted by like a lonely bird
An earthquake hit and so I heard
As I lay my broken heart to sleep,
I prayed your life would be yours to keep

[Chorus]
Don't lose your faith
Don't lose your hope
Don't lose sight of who you are
It comes from within your soul
Don't let go...
Don't let go
[End chorus]

Do you remember when I held you tight?
I whispered everything would be alright
You held to me, you didn't let go
I felt my heart break but it didn't show

One day your life will flip upright
One day you will win the fight

[Chorus]
Don't lose your faith
Don't lose your hope
Don't lose sight of who you are
It comes from within your soul
Don't let go...
Don't let go
[End chorus]

Wake up my little one
Your pain...it's almost done

You'll always be in my heart
I am forever changed [forever]
And here, my life will re-start

Hang on my little one,
My little one
Be brave

Don't let go...
[Be brave]
Don't let go

I have no intentions of portraying a Julius Caesar essence here, but there is a forum dedicated to lyrics. I would put this there, because it is simply brilliant.

I was nearly moved to tears when I read it. It's people like you who change the world one step at a time. I thank you for that, and am sure many other people do as well.

I really have nothing else to say simply because I am speechless.

Thanks again for giving that to the world.

Love and all that jazz.

Thank you I appreciate your kind words

There's nothing I can say to be helpful here, I just wanted to let you know that this is very impressive! It's really beautiful and also sad. I liked the melodic flow of it.

That night drifted by like a lonely bird
An earthquake hit and so I heard
As I lay my broken heart to sleep,
I prayed your life would be yours to keep

I really liked this verse, especially the first and third lines.

Really, an amazing poem!
