"Hold On" lyrics

And the signs aren't clear
As you try to steer
Through the terror and the hate and crime
But never once
Should you
Ever want to die

And after all of the years
You can't put back tears
They just drain you as you say goodbye
But never once
Should you
Ever want to die

Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend
Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend

Hold on

And so you fashion a whip
For your own back
And we watch you tear yourself apart
How long's it been
Since someone said how beautiful
You are?

And that half of guilt
It's not your cross
It's just something you were told was fair
How long's it been
Since someone said how beautiful
You are?

Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend
Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend

Hold on
Hold on
Oh, you better, better hold on
Love

And there's so many stories
And so many people
It's overwhelming as you sigh
What good's a god
If you
Can't ever ask it "Why?"

And so you heave it along
When you're all you got
And you kiss another day goodbye
String enough good times together
And we might just have good lives

Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend
Everything is changing
Everything is strange, friend

Hold on
Hold on
Oh, you better, better hold on
Love

Hold on
Hold on
Oh, you better, better hold on
Love
