Hold On

I think you were chosenWhat you've got to do is finishWhat you have begunI don't know just howBut it's not over till you've wonWhen you see the storm is comingSee the lightning part the skiesIt's too late to runThere's terror in your eyesWhat you do then is rememberedThis old thing you heard me say"It's the storm, not youThat's bound to blow away"Hold onHold on to someone standing byHold onDon't even ask how long or why?Child, hold on to what you know is trueHold on till you get throughChild, oh childHold onWhen you feel your heart is poundinFear a devil's at your doorThere's no place to hideYou're frozen to the floorWhat you do then is you force yourselfTo wake up, and just say"It's this dream, not meThat's bound to go away"Hold onHold on, the night will soon be byHold onUntil there's nothing left to tryChild, hold on, there's angels on their wayHold on and hear them say"Child, oh child!"And it doesn't even matterIf the danger and the doomCome from up above or down belowOr just come flying at you from across the roomWhen you see a man who's ragingAnd he's jealous and he fearsThat you've walked through wallsHe's hid behind for yearsWhat you do thenIs you tell yourself to wait it outAnd say "It's this day, not meThat's bound to go away"Child, oh hold onIt's this day, not youThat's bound to go away
