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."
