Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Change is never easy, but it's good
If I could just turn back the past I would
It takes so much to keep on trying
Some days it just feels like dying
Change is never easy, but it's good
Freedom looks a lot like letting go
And healing takes its time, this I know
From all the miles I've traveled down
From all the wars I've seen
Freedom looks a lot like letting go
So I'm holding on for dear life to You
The only thing I cling to that is true
Let the waters rise, let the storms blow through
I'll be holding on for dear life to You
People love to put God in a box
Just to get the outcome that they want
Crafting false illusions with every bullet shot
Yeah, people love to put God in a box
Oh I'm holding on for dear life to You
The only thing I cling to that is true
Let the waters rise, let the storms blow through
I'll be holding on for dear life to You
Life is a gift that I won't take for granted
So let me give it back to You
With every breath I breathe a sweet surrender
I'm giving everything to You
Today and always
I'm holding on for dear life to You
The only thing I cling to that is true
Let the waters rise, let the storms blow through
And I'll be holding on for dear life to You
I'll be holding on for dear life to You
