Hold On

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 its 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
