Hold On

(Album: The Tears Of Hercules - 2021)

Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got

The world is changing in a biased way
And the sword cuts both ways at last
Do we live in fear? Is our conscience clear?
With so many questions I've asked

Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close
Keep your children by your side

And hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
Hold onto what you've got

A change is gonna come, Sam Cooke once sang
Oh, lay down that burden of hate
With cities divided and the homeless crying
Equality for all someday

Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close
Keep your children by your side

And hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
Hold onto what you've got

With the courtesy of kindness
And the currency of love
May the words of John Lewis never fade
To the bigots and the racists
And those who divide us
Feel the spotlight of justice some day, oh-oh

Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
