The Branch Lyrics - Singles - Jack Davis And Crossbite

He holds on, anyway 

He holds on into another day 

Works fourteen hours, it's not enough 

For six years he'd been going, when the going it got tough 

He's wondering why 

the company had to let him go 

He's wondering if 

he'll have a home anymore 

His feet and mind 

feel like they've been ground down 

Tells his best friend, 

as they share one last round, 

"'Bro, I'm more lost than found" 

She holds on, anyway 

She holds on into another day 

Looks for ways out, and draws a blank 

'Cause the house her daddy left her is going to the bank 

She's wondering why 

feels like you're always at point A 

Looks to the sky, 

clouds that keep turning into grey 

Nights on the phone, 

she says "Mama, I just can't go on" 

Her mom says "Babe, I have learned, 

if you can smile, then you've won" 

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling 

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling 

Rain keeps coming, wind keeps blowing 

We're dangling from the tree of life 

People falling all around you 

But a voice inside you says "Don't let go" 

We hold on, anyway 

We hold on right through our judgement day 

We march on, though nothing's sure 

We go on, and hope our illness has a cure 

We're wondering why 

this life 'aint like we once had hoped 

We're wondering how 

to change most everything and cope 

Each day and night, 

a test we don't know if we'll pass 

Keep holding on, let go the past, 

and we'll get there at last 

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling 

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling
