It's the little things you do that you don't think break through,
You build a mansion with God's son,
You light a candle and the kingdom comes,
Doesn't seem like much now, like you're the failing one.

But hold back the wind, Donna,
Hold back the wind, Donna,
Stand in the breach with us, Donna,
Hold back the devil wind.

It's a little prayer you pray, or the little lie you say,
It's loving hate, but choosing love,
Faith winning out against the odds,
Doesn't seem like much now, a losing cause.

But hold back the wind, Donna,
Hold back the wind, Donna,
Stand in the breach with us, Donna,
And hold back the devil wind.

The grass is breaking through, it's just a blade or two up through the concrete,
And the angels smile,
There'll be a green field in just a little while,
Seems like we're asking too much from one little child.

But hold back the wind, Donna,
Hold back the wind, Donna,
Stand in the breach with us, Donna,
And hold back the devil wind,
Yeah, hold back the wind, Donna,
Hold back the wind, Donna,
Stand in the breach with us, Donna,
Hold back the devil wind.

Yeah, hold back the wind,
Yeah, hold back the wind,
Yeah, hold back the wind,
