Lyrics
‘Hold On’
Hold on to a little bit a loving, hold it tight in your heart
Hang tough in the pushin' and shovin', they won't tear you apart
Hold on, make 'em all play rough if they wanna do battle it's here
Hold out when you're all outa luck, there ain't no fighting in fear
And hold on, ahhh yeah and hold on!
Hold on when the world gets weary and life will drag you on through
Hang hard when it's balls out theory cos nothing's stronger than you
Hold on when you're clinging to the bottom and the bitch is rockin' on top
Hold out when you're begging for a living and the hand that feeds is locked up
And hold on, ahhh yeah and hold on!
They don't want you to have
They don't want you to feel
They don't want you to know what's going on!
They don't want you needing
They don't want you knowing
They don't want you getting your hands on freedom!
And hold on, hold on, hold on to what you believe in!
And hold on, hold on, hold on to what you believe in!
Now people hold on!
Hold on in the nation called heartache, someone's waiting for you
Hang heavy when the tears hit daybreak, pull your brother on through
Hold on nothing ever came right when you let 'em stand in your way
Hold out keep the glory in sight in the light of a brand new day
And hold on, ahhh yeah and hold on
Ahhh yeah and hold on, ahhh yeah and hold on!
Hold on to a little bit a loving, hold it tight in your heart
Hang tough in the pushin' and shovin', they won't tear you apart
Hold on, make 'em all play rough if they wanna do battle it's here
Hold out when you're all outa luck, there ain't no fighting in fear
And hold on, ahhh yeah hold on!
Ahhh yeah and hold on, ahhh yeah hold on
C’mon people, oh yeah hold on!
Ahhh yeah hold on, oh yeah hold on!!
