Hold Me Close

Hold me close, hold me tight 
Let me feel secure 
Throughout the darkest night. 

Let my tears disappear 
Feel safe in a land
Vacant of fury, anger  
And awful, awful fear. 

Hold me close, hold me tight

Habits, Traditions

Habits, traditions
They keep me on my way
They make me feel secure
As I go about my life
My week, my day.

Every now and then
I break free
Dare to be adventurous
Searching for something
That I before haven’t seen.

It’s still nice thou
To sit back
Secure in a habit, a tradition
Where I can relax
At peace, in that known position.
