Greg Holden Empty Hands song lyrics

The patriots hang flags outside

That’s how they do it nationwide

But back home we don’t care so much

I might be wrong but that’s how it looks

We listen to the sound of our minds

I feel as though I’m losing time

With hands of glory pushing rhymes

Never been so far before

I drove for days and weeks and more

Hard shoulder where the chaos lies

An invitation to the darker side

I’m holding on, holding on as my life it slips away

Spinning out my mind it twits

More worries than I can seem to list

I’ve served my purpose true and well but I haven’t yet got much to tell

I listen to the panic in my nerves

An agonizing journey home

With empty hands I stand alone

Face my family, face my friends

I’d better turn around and try again

I’m holding on, holding on as my life it slips away
