[Verse 1]
As I sit here at my piano
Thinking about my worries
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Wanna throw 'em all away
When I'm down he helps me out
We beat the misery
Never leaves me alone and together we fight
Until I believe, yes
[Chorus]
He's telling me to hold on
Let nobody hold you down
So get up and carry on
Let nobody turn you around
Just believe
[Verse 2]
There are people around me who tell me
Now how I should live my life
I get lost and afraid and when I'm alone
It makes me wanna cry out
So when I'm down he helps me out
We beat the misery
Never leaves me alone and together we fight
Until I believe, yes
[Chorus]
He's telling me to hold on
Let nobody hold you down
So get up and carry on
Let nobody turn you around
Just believe
[Bridge]
So follow 'cause I am leading
Let 'em all say it can't be done
Jealous words won't touch your feelings
So be patient and hold on
And when you feel just a little bit lonely
I won't let you down
[Verse 3]
He's a guiding light
A voice in every sound
Like a thin line of faith
Never leaves me alone
He's a part of my life
That's just going on
[Chorus]
He's telling me to hold on
Don't let nobody hold you down
So get up and carry on
Don't let nobody turn you around
Just believe and hold on
Let nobody hold you down
So get up and carry on, yeah
Let nobody turn you around, yeah
[Outro]
Get up and carry on, yeah
Don't you ever let nobody take you down
Let nobody turn you around, yeah
So get up and carry on
He is telling me to hold on
