Hold On

When the night is long

And I am all alone,

I hold on to hope

That someday I'll be home.

It seems so uncertain

This life we stumble through,

But through the pain and the suffering

There's got to be a breakthrough.

It never is that easy,

The burdens that we bear

And the choices that we choose from

They all seem quite unfair.

With so little time

And with so little faith

You have to hold on to something

Or you'll eventually break.

You'd think that the tears,

Would soon vanish away

But you've got to be strong

And learn from your mistakes.

And with every day that passes

I know I'm bound to fall

Though I may fail one hundred times

I'll never stop trying,

Till I stand tall.
