Hold On

Happy Easter everyone. I thought this might be an uplifting song for Easter morning in the light of the challenges our world faces right now - continuing COVID, the war in Ukraine threatening to get even worse and difficult economic times. There is a small explanation of what the song is about at the end of the lyrics. The shot was taken at Bribie Island in SE Queensland. The link will take you to the youtube video. This song was used as the closing theme in the very funny movie "Bridesmaids" which also had some great messages.

Hold On Lyrics (With thanks to Genius)

 

I know this pain (I know this pain)

Why do you lock yourself up in these chains?

No one can change your life except for you

Don't ever let anyone step all over you

Just open your heart and your mind

Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

 

 

Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna

Turn around and say goodbye

Until then, baby, are you gonna let them

Hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know?

Don't you know things can change?

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day

Can you hold on for one more day?

Things'll go your way

Hold on for one more day

 

 

You could sustain

Or are you comfortable with the pain?

You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness

You got yourself into your own mess

Lettin' your worries pass you by

Don't you think it's worth your time

To change your mind?

Ooh, no

 

 

Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna

Turn around and say goodbye

Until then, baby, are you gonna let them

Hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know?

Don't you know things can change?

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day

Can you hold on for one more day?

Things'll go your way

Hold on for one more day

 

 

I know that there is pain

But you hold on for one more day and

Break free from the chains

Yeah, I know that there is pain

But you hold on for one more day and you

Break free, break from the chains

 

 

Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna

Turn around and say goodbye

Until then, baby, are you gonna let them

Hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know?

Don't you know things can change?

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day, yeah

If you hold on

Don't you know things can change?

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day

If you hold on

Can you hold on?

Hold on, baby

Won't you tell me now?

Hold on for one more day 'cause

It's gonna go your way

Don't you know things can change?

Things'll go your way

If you hold on for one more day, yeah

Can't you change it this time?

 

Thanks to Genius for the Lyrics.

The song emphasizes the importance of persevering in spite of obstacles and not let the situation consume you. Everything will be alright in the end.
