Emmylou Harris - Hold On Lyrics

What happened to your mother's love
What happened to your daddy's pride
Although you always said enough
Though they were right by your side
What happened to that ball of fire
It got out on that empty road

Nothing but our own desires
Lighten up this heavy load
Hold on, hold on, hold on

I know you didn't plan for this
But that's the way it always starts
He's looking for a little kiss
Instead you bought a broken heart
Now you had to build a bridge
Only you can walk across
Wear the tooth until it fits
Pay the price and bear the loss

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Once you were a little kid
Working on a great big plan
They threw away the simple joys
And now you have to take a stand

Battles rage in your head
You wish you didn't have to fight
Just hold on to my hand instead
Another day goes by tonight

What happened to your mother's love
What happened to your daddy's pride
Way down deep in your inside your blood
Help you through this lonely ride

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on
