Thought my hopes had died that night
I saw the future slowly slip away
Seems we've got this great divide
Self-gain and greed have had their wicked way
Now now we've go five more years
And wasted tears won't wash this stain away
The days ahead look bleak for some
The feast for others has begun
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
How I felt despair that night
Our fears have surfaced once again shame
Ashamed at what they've done
By making it a little harder for me and you
Now I ask what can be done
Down these crumbling streets
A wind of change must come
As I take you in my arms
We will proudly walk will never run
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tieght to what you've got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Some have seen it all before
It wasn't all that long ago
They've sold us lies they've sold us lies
Glass houses in the city
Retreats at ile des chiens
Time to get up off our knees
And work to work to wards a brighter day
All the hopes I thought
I'd lost that night
Will give me strength to over come
Get up hold on
Get up hold on
Get up hold on
Get up hold on your god
Get up hold on
So
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Baby want to want to got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Baby want to want to got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Baby want to want to got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
Baby want to want to got
Hold on tight hold on tight
Hold on tight to what you've got
