So you've lost your only friend and your faith is dying,
And the tears you thought would end drown you in a river of crying,
Hollow is the one when your heart's undone,
Time to find your way back home.
So hold it close, hold it tight 'til the sun refuses to shine,
I'll say a prayer for you; I hope it gets you through,
Soul child, soul child.
If I could see you right now, I'd wrap my world around you,
And, if I could shelter you somehow, I'd heal the pain inside you,
But saviours come and go,
There's one thing you should know: someone's watching over you.
Hold it close, hold it tight 'til the sun refuses to shine,
I'll say a prayer for you; I hope it gets you through,
Soul child, soul child.
Hollow is the one when your heat's undone,
Take my hand, child, let's go home.
Hold it close, hold it tight 'til the sun refuses to shine,
I'll say a prayer for you, I know it'll get you through,
Oh, hold it close, oh, hold it tight 'til the sun refuses to shine,
I'll say a prayer for you; I hope it gets you through,
Soul child, soul child,
My little soul child, come home.
