Hold On

(album: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - 1993)

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe?
This isn't easier than the real thing

My love, you know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love, let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I—?
At the crossroads I am standing

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
You'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile across your face

Oh God, if you're out there, won't you hear me?
I know that we've never talked before
Oh God, the man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell?
At the crossroads I am standing

Now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile

Now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow
And will see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile across your face

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
