I close my eyes and I pray for a break
I can see everything going my way
I take a deep breath as I hear my kids play
And I know I got to be brave
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're crying on the inside, but you fake it 'til you make it
Gotta hold on
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're tired of surviving, but you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
Hold on (hold on, hold on)
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're tired of surviving, but you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I danced with the darkness 'til I found the light
In the shape of a woman, she is the love of my life
Keeps my head up high, she gives me all that I need
She picks me right up when I'm down on my knees
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're tired of surviving, but you gotta keep on trying
And hold on
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're tired of surviving, but you gotta keep on trying
And hold on
I've got the feeling I'm going
I've got the feeling I'm going
I've got the feeling I'm going places
I've got the feeling we're going
I've got the feeling we're going
I've got the feeling we're going places
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on, hold on (hold on)
You gotta have the patience and believe you're gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you're tired of surviving, but you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
