Lighten up this heavy load
Got out on that open road
Know they were right by your side
Another day goes by tonight
Now you have to take a stand
Wear the truth until it fits
Just lookin' for a little kick
You threw away the simple joys
Way down deep inside your blood
Instead you bought a broken heart
Pay the price and bear the loss
Working on a great big plan
Now nothin' but your own desire
Only you can walk across
You wish you didn't have to fight
What happened to your daddy's pride?
Know you always had enough
Now you have to build a bridge
Once you were a little kid
What happened to your mother's love?
But that's the way it always starts
Know you didn't plan for this
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Happened to that ball of fire
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Help you through this lonely ride
Hold on, hold on, hold on
A battle's raging in your head
Just hold onto my hand instead
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
