Explanation: This was a response song from the parent's perspective to the song If Only You Would Listen from School of Rock
Hold On To Reality
The poets lied
The stars don’t sing
The birds don’t talk
Heart’s don’t have wings
So now I question everything
Until the morning comes
Until the morning comes
We don’t hold the whole world in our hands
I wish I could tell you we did
I wish I could say I had a plan
But the word's something I've never needed
Hold onto your hearts
Tear the whole world apart
One day I promise you’ll be free
But for now
Hold on to reality
I know right now you're hurting
But the lines of the world are always blurring
And I'm the bad guy
I know it's sad I
Wish I could tell you why
Silence is much louder when
The landed bird can’t fly
When the hopes of one who tried to love
Will never catch the light
Fiction is the place you seek
When reality appears
But the presence of your lost escape
And the truth will show your fears
We don’t hold the whole world in our hands
I wish I could tell you we did
I wish I could say I had a plan
But the word's something I've never needed
Hold onto your hearts
Tear the whole world apart
One day I promise you’ll be free
But for now
Hold on to reality
