I scream out, "Please, don't leave me hear alone"
Hold on, hold on, it's easy
Pull myself up to fight again, I'll never let you down
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty
I know, I shall overcome
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground"
But doubt and fear come calling
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone
And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down
All the plans against you one by one, will come undone"
And crowd my head with words of hate
"Just give it up", they say, "We just don't want you around
Down on my knees, without you, without hope
And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty
Just in time you call my name
I hear your voice, call my name
In my heart, there's a pouring rain
In my heart, there's a pouring rain
But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me
Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground
Hold on, hold on, believe me
I shall overcome
Not one of us and we don't like to share"
This dirty town, it hasn't somehow rearranged
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear
Hold on, hold on, it's easy
I look around, nothing seems to have changed
But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me
Through my tears, I try to see your face
I hear your voice, call my name
