How many times
Do we tire of all the little battles
Threaten to call it quits

Tempted to cut and run
How many times
Do we weather out the stormy evenings

Long to slam the front door
Drive away into the setting sun


Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone

But we hold on

How many times

Do we chaff against the repetition
Straining against the faith
Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times
Do we swallow our ambition
Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take

Keep holding on so long

Cause theres a chance that we might not be so wrong
We could be down and gone
But we hold on


How many times
Do we wonder if it's even worth it

Theres got to be some other way
Way to get me through the day


Keep going on till dawn
How many times must another line be drawn
We could be down and gone

But we hold on
