Hold On Lyrics - Carrie Newcomer

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
