[Chorus] Hold them close before they fade away cause in a mean while they’re time is slipping away [Verse 2] Eyes once so bright are now dim mind now confused but still wise [Prechorus] And I wonder do they see The way they’ve shaped all of me Their hands held your world the seed they’ve grown [Chorus] Take time Hold them close before they fade away cause in a mean while they’re time is slipping away [Bridge] The gentle hum of lullabies Their stories those are our roots
