You've been looking for safety
In places it should be
But somehow it couldn't be found
You've been thrown in the deep end
Drowning in quicksand
But I know that you'll make it out
It feels like forever
But it's gonna get better
Hold on
Hold on
I know you've been fighting so long
Stay strong
Stay strong
It's the darkest before the dawn
Hold on
There's strength in your spirit
You don't even know yet
But you're gonna see it in time
Keep your heart open
Even if it gets broken
'Cause that's how the hope gets inside
It feels like forever
But it's gonna get better Hold on
Hold on
I know you've been fighting so long
Stay strong
Stay strong
It's the darkest before the dawn
There is grace for today
And more than enough for tomorrow
So hold on
Hold on
I know you've been fighting so long
Stay strong
Stay strong
It's the darkest before the dawn
Believe me, you're not too far gone
Hold on
