The past is a mother
The future is a daughter
My love for you lasts forever
Even if we can’t be together
The past is a mother
Losing friends losing lovers
I’m not afraid of the future
I will heal I will recover

Hold on, honey
Hold on

The past is a mother
We’ve changed and it’s cellular
Humankind has gone nuclear
And there’s a rise in the temperature

Hold on, honey
Hold on

The past is a mother
Sneaking up on you sucker
While you’re watching big brother
The shadow’s getting longer

The past is a mother
The future is a daughter
My love for you lasts forever
Even if we can’t be together
The past is a mother
Losing friends losing lovers
I’m not afraid of the future
I will heal I will recover

Hold on, honey
Hold on
