Don't Let Go

Lyrics: Don't Let Go by Bryan Adams and Sarah Mclachlan
Dedicated to: Cinderpelt and Firestar
I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way?
Will you forgive me if I feel this way?
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it go
Never let it - never let it go
Cinderpelt lay dying in the ThunderClan nursery. A badger had just slit her throat, she was dying, and then she saw her life pass before her.
Don't let go of the things you believe in
You give me something that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
Go of this moment in time
Don't let go of things that you're feeling
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
No, don't let go
No, I won't let go
First, she was a kit, at home in the old ThunderClan nursery. She was being stolen by Clawface along with Brackenkit. She was terrified. "I don't want to be a ShadowClan apprentice!" Cinderkit cried to herself. Then the brave Firepaw saved her.
"Thank you Firepaw."
"Cinderkit, don't let go."
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
Bared my soul to you
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
Diving into rain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling make it grow
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
Never let it go
Never let it - never let it go
Next, she was an apprentice, lying in the medicine cat den with Fireheart curled next to her.
"Fireheart, what happened?" The small cat asked.
"You were hit on the Thunderpath."
"Will I be okay?"
"Cinderpaw, don't let go."
Don't let go of the things you believe in
You give me something that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
Go of this moment in time
Don't let go of things that you're feeling
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
No, don't let go
No, I won't let go
Then, Cinderpelt was a full fledged medicine cat. Her mentor, Yellowfang, had been killed in the fire that ripped apart the forest that the ThunderClan cats called home.
"Fireheart!" The young cat screamed, "Where's Yellowfang?"
"She was killed by the fire." Replied the handsome ginger tom. Cinderpelt felt herself sway.
"No." she cried softly, "Not her."
Then Fireheart walked up to her, "Cinderpelt, don't let go."
I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon -just hold on tight
Then one of her worst memories came to her. Cinderpelt was sitting in her den, sorting herbs. Fireheart came up to her and was complaining about Spottedleaf not talking to him in his dreams.
"Fireheart, why do you care so much about Spottedleaf when there's a living one right under your nose that cares an awfully lot about you."
Seeing his confused expression, she added, "Every cat in the Clan can see that Sandstorm is very fond of you!"
"Oh." Fireheart said. Then he flicked her nose with his tail as he left.
"StarClan, I love him!" She thought helplessly to herself. "Cinderpelt, don't let go." She thought to herself.
Don't let go of the things you believe in
You give me something that I can believe in
No, don't let go of this moment in time
Go of this moment in time
Don't let go of things that you're feeling
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
No, don't let go
No, I won't let go
Then Cinderpelt was back to where she started, dying in the nursery. Just then, Leafpool, Firestar's daughter and her apprentice, came rushing in. "Cinderpelt!" The tabby cat screamed. "Cinderpelt, don't let go!" But, it was too late; Cinderpelt was swallowed up by the darkness. She found herself in StarClan's clearing. Whitethroat came to greet her.
"Cinderpelt, welcome to StarClan."
