Hold On - Man Alive

Recent twists of history bring me

Back to where we were

To times when battlegrounds were far away

When a reminiscent man could

Gather crowds around at will

It seems like yesterday yet still forever

I remember fearing nothin' waiting for a change

Longin' for a break from every day

And I still remember how it was the day you finally came

You took back everything

But the fact it still remains

We’ve gotta hold on

Hold on

And things seemed to settle down

Around the turn of '92

And life whent on as normal and as planned

But it took a couple years

For it to make its loud return

It never left again

It just got stronger

To the skeptics and the hardened

Of the world so far away

It reared its evil face one fateful day

When I see believers after things like this

All I can say is

It’ll be okay

But the fact it still remains

We’ve gotta hold on

Hold on

So stand up by me

Stand up strong now

Stand up by me

Stand up strong now

Stand up by me

Stand up strong now

Stand up by me strong

Yeah!

We’ve gotta hold on

Hold on
