Holdin' On Lyrics

How long Lord, my trials are takin'
How long Lord, them files are fakin'
Holy Lord, let me ask you an answer
Holy Lord, would you fancy a dancer

I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier

Holy Lord, it's fine like I told you
Holy Lord, better listen while I scold you
Holy Lord, try, try, full try, you lead me
Holy Lord, I'm be around when you need me

I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier

Holy Lord, I'm doing what I want to
Holy Lord, forgive me, oh I need you
Holy Lord, do what you feel like
Holy Lord, the tighter the gripper

I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier

It's very common
Holy Lord

How long Lord, my trials are takin'
How long Lord, them files are fakin'

Holy Lord, would you fancy a dancer

I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier

Holy Lord, it's fine like I told you
Holy Lord, better listen while I scold you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
