So you flung your fist high in the air
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed
Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
When youre fighting for your life
Just to survive

Its then youve gotta

Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - dont let it fade
Still youve gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
Youve gotta hold on stronger
Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream
When youre so damned scared of failure
When the worlds burned out its saviors
When youre feeling too vulnerable to dream

Its then youve gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - dont let it fade
Still youve gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
Youve gotta hold on stronger
Or else youll fade
