Hold On

1. Say you to me, you're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searching the land for a hero of a man
You say I need more than my fair share of attention
But I think you know that just isn't so.

Underneath I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearing me apart right from the very start
And now I see that it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong, so long, you'll see.

[Chorus:]
Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on ‘cause the world will turn if you're ready or not.

2. Simplicity, a heart of gold, an old head on young shoulders
Quiet and lovely, become a part of me
And now I see from a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light burning fiercely.

I was tired of January, I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin', oh
I was tired of January, tired of June
I felt a change a-comin', oh
I felt a change a-comin', I felt a change a-comin'
Felt a change a-comin' soon, oh.

[Chorus x2]

* Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you're ready or not.
