Hold On

[MARTHA:]
What you've got to do is
Finish what you have begun
I don't know just how
But it's not over 'til you've won.

When you see the storm is comin'
See the lightning part the skies
It's too late to run
There's terror in your eyes
What you do then is remember
This old thing you heard me say
It's this storm, not you
That's bound to blow away.

Hold on
Hold on to someone standin' by
Hold on
Don't even ask how long or why
Child, hold on to what you know is true
Hold on 'til you get through
Child, oh child
Hold on.

When you feel your heart is poundin'
Fear a devil's at your door
There's no place to hide
You're frozen to the floor
What you do then is you force yourself
To wake up and you say
It's this dream not me
That's bound to go away.

Hold on
Hold on the night will soon be by
Hold on
Until there's nothin' left to try
Child, hold on, there's angels on their way
Hold on and hear them say
Child, oh child.

And it doesn't even matter if
The danger and the doom
Come from up above or down below
Or just come flyin' at you
From across the room.

When you see a man who's ragin'
And he's jealous and he fears
That you've walked through walls
He's hid behind for years
What you do then is you tell yourself to wait it out
And say it's this day, not me
That's bound to go away.

Child, hold on
It's this day, not you
That's bound to go away.
