Hold On

I threw my phone right at the wall this morning
Had enough of seeing all the bad news
Hurts enough when everything seems broken
What you gonna do

Ask a question 'bout the things that you've been missing
Write a song about what gives you the blues
Draw a picture of what you fear the most
Or cry alone in your room

Quitting never sounds so good
But my wallet's lacking bills
And I'm thinkin' what's the deal
I've been doing everything that I should

But hold on a little longer
Keep on moving onward
Lighten up the heavyweight
Your brokenness will break away
You gotta let go of your sorrow
Light shines through the window
Open up your eyes
And look up to the sky
And hold on a little bit longer

Tried to live without a reason to fight
Playing games that only get you to lose
Father's words still ringing inside
About the life I would choose

Sorry mom for thinking of
Letting go my plans
'Cause I don't stand a chance
And I'm thinking about giving up

But hold on a little longer
Keep on moving onward
Lighten up the heavyweight
Your brokenness will break away
You gotta let go of your sorrow
Light shines through the window
Open up your eyes
And look up to the sky
And hold on a little longer
Keep on moving onward
Lighten up the heavyweight
Your brokenness will break away
You gotta let go of your sorrow
Light shines through the window
Open up your eyes
And look up to the sky
And hold on a little bit longer
Hold on a little bit longer

But it's too hard
And it's too difficult
My friends are far
And no one gets my jokes
I play a song
But I forget the notes
Can't help but think that love might never come
Dissatisfied
With the person, people see outside
Don't wanna lie
But I'm losing sight of my reason to fight

But I remember the day
I heard Mr. Turner say
Never lose your will and don't forget to pray
A whisper telling you
To hold on one more day
