Hold On Tightly Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the It's About Time Album. It has also been released on the John Denver (Italian) and Country Classics albums. 

Lost in a boat on the ocean 

Lost in a ship out at sea 

Lost in the dark of misfortune 

Where is a light I can see 

Where is a light I can see 

Where is the highway to heaven 

Where is the love we all need 

Where is the peace that we long for 

Where is the man who is free 

Here in the heart there is freedom 

Here in the heart there is peace 

Here in the heart is the answer 

To questions much deeper than these

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You've got to hold on tightly 

Let go lightly 

It's only surrender, it's all in the game 

If you just hold on tightly 

Let go lightly 

There's always forgiveness and no one to blame 

Some will take fame over fortune 

Some will take love over gold 

Some will pray only for power 

Some never want to grow old 

Some see the day that is coming 

Some only see what has passed 

Someone will always be first in line 

Someone will always be last 

Here in the heart there is freedom 

Here in the heart there is peace 

Here in the heart is the answer 

To questions much deeper than these

You've got to hold on tightly 

Let go lightly 

It's only surrender, it's all in the game 

If you just hold on tightly 

Let go lightly 

There's always forgiveness and no one to blame
