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
