We Hold On Lyrics
do we tire of all the little battles?
--threaten to call it quits;
tempted to cut and run?
do we weather out the stormy evenings?
--long to slam the door
drive away into the setting sun?
How many times must another line be drawn?
We could be down and gone,
but we hold on.
do we chafe against the repitition?
--straining against a fate
measured out in coffee breaks?
do we swallow our ambitions?
--long to give up the same old way ;
find another road to take?
'cause there's a chance
that we might not be so wrong.
We could be down and gone,
but we hold on.
do we wonder if it's even worth it?
There's got to be some other way
to get me through these days.
I fell this all the time. I'm a registered nurse that works 12-hour night shifts... have been for almost 25 years. It certainly does "Cut to the Chase."
This song has an odd vibe to it, but different nonetheless. I like the guitar work in the verses.
I think this is a song about how people's faith to endure and stay the course in their day to day grind of their lives, relationships, and work. Sometime you get fed up, and you want to quit but you hold on... Great song.
What's really cool about this song is that there is a bit of a Middle East beat going in the back round. Awesome song my favorite off the new album.
This song is a dare. a challenge. a joke on the obvious pitfalls of repetition, strain, obvious bitter hours from work, the stresses of life. We could be done and gone. But we hold on. what's next.. we hold on?...
