So you flung your fist high in the air
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations

Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed

Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in it's own solution

When you're fighting for your life
Just to survive


It's then you've gotta

Hold on - for what you believe in

Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason

You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger

Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream

When you're so damned scared of failure
When the world's burned out it's saviors
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream


It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in

Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason

You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger

Or else you'll fade
