"Hold On" lyrics - TOAD THE WET SPROCKET

TOAD THE WET SPROCKET
"Hold On"

I need a little bit of hope
One ray of light
Need just enough peace
To make it through the night
I want to leave all I know
Forget my name
I want a wisdom deep enough
To stand through the constant change

So where is our common ground
Everything's falling down
Hold on to what matters

Give me your tired and your poor
Who yearn to breathe free
Send the homeless tempest-tossed to me
Where's the line that we crossed
That broke the bond of trust
How did everything come to be them and us

So where is our common ground
When everything's falling down
Everything shattered
Hold on to what matters
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to what matters

We are all afraid
We are all unsure
There's no waving of the wand no miracle cure
It's not the end of the world
Not the worst of your fears
It's just the price for the last 500 years
It's the price for the last 500 years

So where is our common ground
When everything's falling down
Everything shattered
Hold on to what matters
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on
