Hold on Wren

Introduction: Written by Therrilliar for one of the periodic singings for Wren in the chamber in the Crossing sewers from which Faenella's lute was stolen, this song was inspired by the real life John Lennon song "Hold on Yoko".

No cage can hold you, no cage cruel
not while you spirit lives
bars of steel, bars of darkness
not while we can give;you our songs and our hearts

Hold on Wren
we don't know when
but we will free you soon

We know you stand in darkness
you stand in pain
but if you hear our tune
you'll not long remain
there we will see you through

No evil can flay you, no evil rule
you while there lingers hope
wings are broken, wings are hurt
but your song it soars
and we can hear it ring

Hold on Wren
we don't know when
but we will free you soon

We know you stand in darkness
you stand in pain
but if you hear our tune
you'll not long remain
there we will see you through

Across the land, across the gulf
between us and you
You sing to us, we sing to you
we keep the link alive
it is for you we strive

Hold on Wren
we don't know when
but we will free you soon

We know you stand in darkness
you stand in pain
but if you hear our tune
you'll not long remain
there we will see you through

We gather here, while you are wrapped in fear
to try to comfort you
you need light, you need warmth
let our singing wrap you
like a downy cloak

Hold on Wren
we don't know when
but we will free you soon

We know you stand in darkness
you stand in pain
but if you hear our tune
you'll not long remain
there we will see you through
