Hold Tight.

Hold tight

Hold tight to love

Hold tight

Hold tight to freedom

Hold tight

 

Hold tight to hope

 

Hold tight

 

Hold tight to ideas

 

Hold tight

 

Hold tight to friends

 

Hold tight

 

Hold tight to history

 

Hold tight

 

Hold tight to democracy

 

Hold tight

But not too tight

Because if you hold too tight

To love it becomes hate

And if you hold too tight

To freedom it becomes fanaticism

Hold too tight to hope

It becomes delusion

Hold too tight to ideas

They become ideology

Hold too tight to friends

They become enemies

Hold too tight to history

And it becomes HIS story

Hold too tight to democracy

It becomes fascism

 

So hold tight

Hold tight…

But not too tight
