Cover art for Hanging On lyrics by Everyday Sunday

this song is very self-explanatory...

the first verse is about how when we get into those situations where we don't want to fall backwards, but we often times are trying to get out of it on our own, that we forget to call on God.

the chorus is about everyone is longing to be found by some one or something, mostly to feel accepted, but we need to hang onto God and give everything to him

the 2nd verse is about how we come to God with everything we are and have, but really have nothing to give and we keep trying to get closer to God because he is what we truly want

the bridge: is basically talking about how when we are in the presence of God, we bring all of our triumphs and failures because he is the one that can help us...

So in a summary, to me, Hanging On, is about coming to God and hanging onto him in the midst of everything, good or bad
