Hold On

(album: All I Intended To Be - 2008)

What happened to your mother's love
What happened to your daddy's pride
I know you always had enough
I know they were right by your side

What happened to that ball of fire
When you got out on that open road
Now nothing but your own desire
Will lighten up that heavy load

Hold on...

I know you didn't plan for this
But that's the way it always starts
Just looking for a little kick
Instead you bought a broken heart

And now you've got to build a bridge
That only you can walk across
Wear the truth until it fits
Pay the price and bear the loss

Hold on...

Once you were a little boy
Working on a great big plan
You threw away the simple joys
And now you've got to be a man

A battle's raging in your head
You wish you didn't have to fight
Just hold onto my hand instead
Another day goes by tonight

What happened to your mother's love
What happened to your daddy's pride
They're way down deep inside your blood
To help you through this lonely ride

Hold on...
