[Verse 1]
He told me a heart can't smile
If it's filled with tears
Growing up I thought "it's all gone"
Now it comes back to me, again
Ghetto uniform, collect calls
That I can explain
All the things I've ruined, abandoned
They come back to me
[Chorus]
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
[Verse 2]
He told me for those who been drowned
There is no refrain
With one and only youth, a gospel
I do what I can
[Chorus]
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
[Verse 3]
Though I've been trying
To lose it all before it's gone
Whatever comes, a heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
I've been waiting
All I got to do is call
Diving deeper
Won't you get me out of this despair
[Verse 4]
Though I've been trying
To lose it all before it's gone
Whatever comes, a heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
I've been waiting
All I got to do is call
Diving deeper
Won't you get me out of this despair
[Bridge]
Holding on together I
Though I've been trying
Try to set the night on fire
To lose it all before it's gone
Holding on together I
Whatever comes
Try to set the night on fire
A heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
Holding on together I
I've been waiting
Try to set the night on fire
All I got to do is call
Holding on together I
Diving deeper
Try to set the night on fire
Won't you get me out of this despair
[Chorus]
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
[Bridge]
Holding on together I
Though I've been trying
Try to set the night on fire
To lose it all before it's gone
Holding on together I
Whatever comes
Try to set the night on fire
A heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
Holding on together I
I've been waiting
Try to set the night on fire
All I got to do is call
Holding on together I
Diving deeper
Try to set the night on fire
Won't you get me out of this despair
[Outro]
My happiness inside us
Has nowhere else to fall
Troubles hearing through the telephone
It is filled with tears
