Holding Cell
Strength has a name today
She is a child of God
Even when locked away
She's still so sure that you won't
Let her down
Sings as she prays for you
What a sound
All that she made it through
Holding cell, holding cell
I can't get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things
They moved my court date, I can't afford that
I say the Lord's Prayer
I been through more than you could imagine in 20 birthdays
I want a quiet life in a flat with church on a Sunday
I got a voice and I got a laugh
And I'll use it one day
For now, please just hear me out
I am speaking through bars
And writing you cards and keeping count
I know God he won't leave me
I'm friends with patience, all amounts
'Til the moment I'm free
Then I'll keep on waiting, 'til they count me
Holding cell, holding cell
I can't get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things
She is a child of God
Even when locked away
She's still so sure that you won't
Let her down
Sings as she prays for you
What a sound
All that she made it through
Holding cell, holding cell
I can't get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things
They moved my court date, I can't afford that
I say the Lord's Prayer
I been through more than you could imagine in 20 birthdays
I want a quiet life in a flat with church on a Sunday
I got a voice and I got a laugh
And I'll use it one day
For now, please just hear me out
I am speaking through bars
And writing you cards and keeping count
I know God he won't leave me
I'm friends with patience, all amounts
'Til the moment I'm free
Then I'll keep on waiting, 'til they count me
Holding cell, holding cell
I can't get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things
