Hold On

I've been drivin' down this road Five times this week It's almost as if these farm fields Could speak to me A hungry lion's been prowlin' Outside my door these days And though I shake my fist at it It doesn't go away But hold on There's a place beside your heart Right below your collar bone Where I have laid down my head And rested like I've never known I stayed there for a while or so It broke my heart to see you go Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold, hold on Life is short, my dreams are made And the bargain's struck and the price is paid I have walked a fragile line And I have heard an inner voice call I called you up, I woke you up I ask you could I try anymore So hold on, hold on Well, there are those who would put you down Smilin' bastards who would keep you down But this gentle source who will lift you up And I have heard the voice of God sayin' Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on --- Hold On - Carrie Newcomer
