Holding Cell Songtext
von Samora Pinderhughes

Strength has a name today
She is a child of God
Even when locked away
She′s still so sure that you won't

Let her down
Sings as she prays for you
What a sound
All that she made it through

Holding cell, holding cell
I can′t get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things


They moved my court date, I can't afford that
I say the Lord's Prayer
I been through more than you could imagine in 20 birthdays
I want a quiet life in a flat with church on a Sunday
I got a voice and I got a laugh
And I′ll use it one day

For now, please just hear me out
I am speaking through bars
And writing you cards and keeping count
I know God he won′t leave me
I'm friends with patience, all amounts
′Til the moment I'm free
Then I′ll keep on waiting, 'til they count me

Holding cell, holding cell
I can′t get well while you hold me
Still and lonely, only cold things
