[Verse 1]
Boy walks half down on the broken tracks
Father said, "my son, come on back"
So much trouble I must leave behind
You can still do well, let me remind
[Hook]
Oh, hold on
Oh, hold on
[Verse 2]
I've seen my eyes when they're cloudy and dark
You call to your God like an old skylark
This will show us that the Devil breaks
I am counting down all of my days
[Hook]
Oh, hold on (I hold on yeah, and I hold on)
Oh, hold on (oh I hold on yeah, I hold on)
I hold on now, why hold on nye
I hold on now, why hold on nye
Oh, hold on (oh, hold on)
Oh, hold on (oh, hold on)
[Instrumental Break]
[Hook]
Oh, hold on (come on back my son, come on back my son)
Oh, hold on (before skies are grey and my day is done)
Oh, hold on (come on back my son, come on back)
Oh, hold on (before skies are grey and my day is done)
Hold on was written by Dan Wallage & Nic Johnston & Jack Rollins (AUS).
