Life Holds On

I was swinging on the swings when I was a little girl

Trying to get a handle on the big, wide world

When I noticed all the grass in the cracks in the concrete

I said, "Where there's a will, there's a way around anything"

[Chorus:]

Life holds on

Given the slightest chance

For the week and the strong

Life holds on

There was a third grade boy that we knew in school

He was found face down in a swimming pool

And as they worked on that kid every minute was an hour

And when his eyes fluttered open we could feel that power

[Chorus]

Sirens screaming down my street

Fading as they go

Whining somewhere far away

To someone I don't know

Still, I say a little prayer

There's always hope

Life holds on

Through the window in the kitchen I can see outside

My kids taking turns coming down the slide

I try not to worry as they grow a little every day

I've just got believe they're gonna find their way

[Chorus]
