So you flung your fist high in the air,

But the world remains the same.

And all the demonstrations

Filtered out through graduation,

And the times that were a-changin' never changed.



Freedom takes on new meaning

When you have a family of five.

And peace and revolution

Dissolve in its own solution

When you're fighting for your life just to survive.

'Cause then you've got to



Hold on for what you believe in.

Hold on, don't let in fade.

Still you've got to 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, yeah.



When the night creeps in so hollow,

When the silence makes you scream,

When you're so damn scared of failure,

When the world's burned out of saviors,

When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream,

It's then you've got to



Hold on for what you believe in.

Hold on, don't let in fade.

Still you've got to be strong,

Find yourself a reason.

No one change the world, but just the same,

You've gotta hold on to yourself or else you'll fade,

Or else you'll fade,

Or else you'll fade,

Or else you'll fade,

Or else you'll fade....
