about

“Hold The Door” invokes when life becomes precious. Life can be fleeting and our drive and reasons to live are strong. “Making tomorrow’s lunches, she slips in love notes, her evening prayers.” “She cannot give in right now, she hasn’t finished what she came to do.”

lyrics

Hold The Door - Tina Ross

It was hard to listen / And face the unknown
Feeling her heart quicken / She hangs up the phone.

She leans against the bathroom sink
And wipes the mirror clear
The dripping of the faucet / Is all she hears.

A quiet moment and there are few
As her children sleep
Thinking ‘bout the promises / She may never keep.

Hold the door / Hold the door
Don’t let it close / She only knows
She wants more time / Not only in her mind
Hold the door.

With arms full of the day’s clutter
Gently stepping down the weary stairs
Making tomorrow’s lunches
She slips in love notes, her evening prayers.

So many questions
Will she leave some life unused?
But she cannot give in right now
She hasn’t finished what she came to do.

Hold the door / Hold the door
Don’t let it close / She only knows
She wants more time / Not only in her mind
Hold the door / Hold the door
Don’t let it close / She only knows
She wants more time
Hold the door.
