Holding out for Hope
She's an original O.G. gangster
Born in summer of '22
Fell in love with a first-class soldier
Who was headed for world war 2
She didn't want to say goodbye
But she knew that it was time
Gave him one last kiss for freedom
Baby do what you got to do
In the blizzard of '67
She was dancing all through the streets
Fought the fires across the Mystic
Up in Chelsea in '73
And the smoke filled the sky
But she didn't even cry
She was singing the Sounds of Silence
She was rolling into the deep
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don't see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
And nothing's certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I'm holding out for hope
She had a big imagination, was dreamer from the start
But the Lennon assassination took a little piece of her heart
When the stock market crashed
She bought a pink Cadillac
She went cruising with her sister Sally
Took up ride up to the stars
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don't see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
And nothing's certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I'm holding out for hope
Michael Jackson in a sequin glove
Sixteen candles and the breakfast club
Careless Whispers turned to Tainted love
Smashing pumpkins into Third Eye Blind
Marky Mark is wearing Calvin Klein
Britney hit me baby one more time
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don't see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
And nothing's certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I'm holding out for hope
Born in summer of '22
Fell in love with a first-class soldier
Who was headed for world war 2
She didn't want to say goodbye
But she knew that it was time
Gave him one last kiss for freedom
Baby do what you got to do
In the blizzard of '67
She was dancing all through the streets
Fought the fires across the Mystic
Up in Chelsea in '73
And the smoke filled the sky
But she didn't even cry
She was singing the Sounds of Silence
She was rolling into the deep
Always thought there would be enough time
Waiting here in the funeral line
Hope I don't see regret in your eyes
From how you lived your life
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
And nothing's certain
This lonely feeling is stirring up my soul
My heart is hurting
Ghost of wanted memories
Broken dreams so deadly
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I'm holding out for hope
She had a big imagination, was dreamer from the start

Broken dreams so deadly
I'm holding out, I'm holding out for hope
Holding Out for Hope - Oh
I'm holding out for hope
