Holding On
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
The sun will rise again today the same as it did yesterday
But it won’t always shine, no it can’t always shine
The bad things in life make the good things feel better
But sorrow can tear you apart if you let her
So leave her far behind, yeah leave her far behind
You can’t beat this game – it’s always different but it’s always the same
But that’s okay, it’s not the winning it’s how you play
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
And even though it seems like there’s no way out, you’re going to get over this
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
You’ve come so far; I know how hard you’ve tried
Together we will find the light we lost in these dark times
The sun will rise again today the same as it did yesterday
But it won’t always shine, no it can’t always shine
You can’t beat this game – it’s always different but it’s always the same
But that’s okay, it’s not the winning it’s how you play
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
And even though it seems like there’s no way out, you’re going to get over this
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
The sun will rise again today the same as it did yesterday
But it won’t always shine, no it can’t always shine
The bad things in life make the good things feel better
But sorrow can tear you apart if you let her
So leave her far behind, yeah leave her far behind
You can’t beat this game – it’s always different but it’s always the same
But that’s okay, it’s not the winning it’s how you play
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
And even though it seems like there’s no way out, you’re going to get over this
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
You’ve come so far; I know how hard you’ve tried
Together we will find the light we lost in these dark times
The sun will rise again today the same as it did yesterday
But it won’t always shine, no it can’t always shine
You can’t beat this game – it’s always different but it’s always the same
But that’s okay, it’s not the winning it’s how you play
When the world has turned you inside out and left you in a lonely place
And even though it seems like there’s no way out, you’re going to get over this
You’ve got to keep holding on, got to keep holding on
