Can you hold on to your child as the sun sets in your eyes and you face those darkened skies Can you hold on? But he will push away to make his great escape There's nothing you can say Won't you hold on? You will see, see him bleed You can't pave the path he made Satellite flying high Won't you come on down Down to the ground The tighter that you squeeze The more he craves release He's asking you please Can you hold on? But he will push you away to make his great escape There's nothing you can say Won't you hold on? You will see, see him bleed You can't pave the path he made Satellite flying high Won't you come on down Down to the ground Can you hold on to your child As the sun sets in your eyes And you face those darkened skies Can you hold on? You will see, see him bleed You can't pave the path he made Down to the ground Satellite flying high Won't you come on down Down to the ground
