Life Holds On Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

I was swingin' on the swings when I was a little girl 

Tryin' 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" 

Life holds on 

Given the slightest chance 

For the weak 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 

Life holds on 

Given the slightest chance 

For the weak and the strong 

Life holds on, life holds on 

Life holds on 

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 takin' turns comin' down the slide 

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

No I've just got believe that they're gonna find their way 

And the life holds on 

Given the slightest chance 

For the weak and the strong 

Life holds on, life holds on 

Life holds on, life holds on
