Hold On

I think you were chosen

What you've got to do is finish

What you have begun

I don't know just how

But it's not over till you've won

When you see the storm is coming

See the lightning part the skies

It's too late to run

There's terror in your eyes

What you do then is remembered

This old thing you heard me say

It's the storm not you

That's bound to blow away

Hold on

Hold on to someone standing by

Hold on

Don't even ask how long or why

Child hold on to what you know is true

Hold on till you get through

Child oh child

Hold on

When you feel your heart is pounding

Fear a devil's at your door

There's no place to hide

You're frozen to the floor

What you do then is you force yourself

To wake up and just say

It's this dream not me

That's bound to go away

Hold on

Hold on the night will soon be by

Hold on

Until there's nothing left to try

Child hold on there's angels on their way

Hold on and hear them say

Child oh child

And it doesn't even matter

If the danger and the doom

Come from up above or down below

Or just come flying

At you from across the room

When you see a man who's raging

And he's jealous and he fears

That you've walked through walls

He's hid behind for years

What you do then

Is you tell yourself to wait it out

And say it's this day not me

That's bound to go away

Child oh hold on

It's this day not you

That's bound to go away
