Lyrics

Hold the Rope
Lyrics and Music by Ted Horrell


Hold the rope
Just remember what I’m saying
Put your back into it as we pull across the line
Rope a dope
Is the kind of game we’re playing
Let ‘em knock themselves out while we’re waiting on our time
Let ‘em knock themselves out while we’re waiting on our time

Hold the rope
Cause we’re way on the ledges
I don’t remember stepping out, but we’ll navigate just fine
That envelope
Needed pushing on the edges
A little more togetherness will bring us peace of mind

Hold the rope
I forgot what I was saying
Every time I wet my lips I wind up feeling dry
Up in smoke
All the trees around are swaying
They’re burning down the forest as we’re swinging from the vines

Don’t let go and don’t lose heart – you’ll see
We can pull each other up we’re stronger you and me
Don’t let go and don’t lose heart you’ll see
We can get free
We can get free
We can get free

Hold the rope
Now the crowd is demonstrating
Feel the music taste the air and travel back in time
Holy smoke
I believe I will be staying
I’ll look inside of your heart if you’ll spend some time in mine
I’ll look inside of your heart if you’ll spend some time in mine
I’ll look inside of your heart if you’ll spend some time in mine
