Hold On And Hold Out

Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong

The money's in and the bets are down

You won't hold out long

They say you'll fall in no time at all

But you know they're wrong

Known it all along

Hold on hold out, keep a hold on still

If you don't see what your love is worth

No one ever will

You've done your time on the bottom line

And it ain't no thrill

There's got to be something more

Keep a hold on still

You know what it is you're waiting for

Now you just hold on

Hold on hold out, hold on

Give up your heart and you lose your way

Trusting another to feel that way

Give up your heart and you find yourself

Living for something in somebody else

Sometimes you wonder what happens to love

Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough

Hold a place for the human race

Keep it open wide

Give it time to fall or climb

But let the time decide

Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you

But you wait, and you see

'cause it's all you can do

Just to hold on

Hold on hold out, hold on

For the countless souls beaten by their goals

Keep a hold on now

And the ones betrayed by the deals they made

Keep a hold on

If you hold your ground it'll turn around

Keep a hold somehow

Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight

Tonights the night

Wake up and turn on the light

You fight, and you're right--

It's gonna take all your might...

You're a hold out

Well i'm a hold out too

But it took me all this time to figure out

Something you already knew

Will love be true? can it pull you through?

How long? how strong?

Somethings depend on you

See-- i always figured i was going to meet somebody here

And i don't know why

Why should love come down and suddenly just sweep me away

I want to fly

But there are so many things in my way

Anyway...

I guess you wouldn't know unless i told you

But...

I love you

Well just look at yourself--

What else would i do?

Hold on--
