Stuck in a ride
Broken down
But in my heart
There's still a sound
That's pulsing through my veins
And beating life in me again
There's a darkness
Like a cloud
That hangs over my head
That I can't get out
Despite the pain I feel
There's still a hope to heal
And I'm holding onto hope
Like a soldier under fire
Holding onto hope
Like a man on a wire
All around me I see people dying
I'm holding onto hope
I'm holding onto hope
At least I'm trying
I've seen death hit close to home
I've seen the cannons and bombs explode
I know I'm not amused
I know my time could be soon
And I'm holding on to hope
Like a soldier under fire
Holding onto hope
Like a mother holds a child
All around me I see people dying
I'm holding onto hope
Yeah, I'm holding onto hope
At least I'm trying
I'm holding onto hope
Like a soldier under fire
Holding onto hope
Like a man on a wire
All around me I see people dying
Yeah, I'm holding onto hope
Yeah, I'm holding onto hope
I'm going down trying
I'm going down trying
