Keep me past the gates I've worn the world without a word And I don't care too much for what they say Rip my smothering end Another day will pass again Keep my power alive for I'm not afraid Can I make them understand Who in the world would have thought this, God I'll never know your plans Doin' what I got to What I got to hang on 'Cause I'm doin' what I got to What I got to hang on It's 'cause I'm doin' what I got to What I got to hang on Hanging on by a thread this is what I've got So hang on to this Keep me pacified The light will never see my face For this seems like a better place Keep them entertained I've lost the feel, I've lost the pain For this seems to be a better place Can I make them understand Who in the world would have thought this, God I'll never know your plans Doin' what I got to What I got to hang on 'Cause I'm doin' what I got to What I got to hang on It's 'cause I'm doin' what I got to What I got to hang on Hanging on by a thread this is what I got So hang on to this Maybe you'll find what you seek, yeah If you hold on to truth Yet your truth will set you free Doin' what I got to What I got to hang on Hanging on by a thread this is what I got Doin' what I got to What I got to hang on Hang onto this Hang onto this...
