Hold the Line

Hold the line, hold the line, you keep us standing here.
Hold the line, hold the line, love is how you keep us near.
Hold the line, hold the line.
For the hands in the shadows, for the tears you don't show,
For the bread and the tending, and the seeds that you sow.
You are the backbone, you are the flame,
You are the quiet heroes, we will praise by name.
Hold the line.
Hold the line, hold the line, you keep us standing here.
Hold the line, hold the line, love is how you keep us near.
Hold the line, hold the line, we are stronger when you care.
