I've been drivin' down this road give times this week
It's almost as if these farm fields could speak to me
A hungry lion's been prowling outside these doors these days

And though I shake my fist at it
It doesn't go away


Hold on

There's a place beside your heart

Right below your collarbone
Where I have laid down my head
And rested like I've never known

I stayed there for a while or so
It broke my heart to see you go


Hold on
Hold on


Life is short and our dreams are made
The bargains struck and the prices paid
I have walked a fragile line

And I have heard and inner voice call
I called you up, I woke you up, I asked you if I could try anymore
You said ?Hold on?


There are those who would put you down
Smilin' !@$(s who would keep you down

But there are gentle souls who will lift you up
And I have heard the voice of God saying


?Hold On?
