[Verse 1:]
I can hear a voice telling me to let go, oohh (oohh)
And it feels like the light is hiding from my eyes, I'm so low
Searching for one brighter day trying to find a way
But I still believe even if I don't see, I'll hold on
[Chorus:]
I'll hold on
When it feels like my prayers have flown away no matter how long it takes
I'll hold on
When I'm standing on my last leg I'll keep going, I'll hold on
Ooh, Ooh, Oohh
[Verse 2:]
I can feel the world is changing all around me, oh oh oh
Been waiting all my life for my dreams to come alive but I know
We can't control when a wish flies away, if it comes back one day
But I still believe even if I don't see, I'll hold on
[Chorus:]
I'll hold on
When it feels like my prayers have flown away no matter how long it takes
I'll hold on
When I'm standing on my last leg I'll keep going, I'll hold on
[Bridge:]
So when the tears fall down my face
And it feels like I'm gon' break
When there's no words left to say (I'll lift my hands)
Keeping both my eyes on you
Because I know your words are true
You're the strength in all I do
[Chorus:]
I'll hold on
When it feels like my prayers have flown away no matter how long it takes
I'll hold on
When I'm standing on my last leg I'll keep going
I'll hold on
When it feels like my prayers have flown away no matter how long it takes
I'll hold on
When I'm standing on my last leg I'll keep going, I'll hold on
