Hold on, hold out, keep a hold on strong

The money's in and the bets are down

You won't hold out long

They say you'll fall in no time at all

But you know they're wrong

You've known it all along



Hold on, hold out, keep a hold on still

If you don't see what your love is worth

No one ever will

You've done your time on the bottom line

It ain't no thrill

There's got to be something more

Keep a hold on still

You know what it is you're waiting for

Now you just hold on

Hold on, hold out, hold on



Give up your heart and you lose your way

Trusting another to feel that way

Give up your heart and you find yourself

Living for something in somebody else

Sometimes you wonder what happens to love

Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough



Hold a place for the human race

Keep it open wide

Give it time to fall or climb

Let the time decide

Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you

But you wait, and you see

'Cause it's all you can do

Just to hold on

Hold on, hold out, hold on



For the countless souls beaten by their goals

Keep a hold on now

And the ones betrayed by the deals they made

Keep a hold on, keep a hold on

If you hold your groung it'll turn around

Keep a hold somehow



Hold on, hold out, keep a hold on tight

Tonight's the night

Wake up and turn on the light

You fight, and you're right--

It's gonna take all your might...



You're a hold-out

Well I'm gonna hold out too

But it took me all this time to figure out something you already knew

Will love be true? Will it pull you through?

How long? How strong?

Some things depend on you

See-- I always figured I was gonna meet somebody here

And I don't know why

Why should love suddenly come down and sweep me away?

I want to fly

But there are so many things in my way



Anyway...

I guess you wouldn't know unless I told you

But...

I love you

Well, just look at yourself

I mean, what else would I do?



Hold on
