Hold On Lyrics

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

"A change is gonna come," Sam Cooke once sung
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 on to what you've got
Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers
Hold on to what you've got

With the courtesy of kindness
And the currency of love
May the words of John Lewis never fade (never fade)
To the bigots and the racists
And those that divide us
Feel the spotlight of justice someday, oh-oh

Hold on, hold on
Hold on to what you've got (listen)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to what you've got
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got (sing it for me)
Hold on, hold on
Hold onto what you've got
