Hang On for the Ride

Hang on for the Ride
Written by Aaron Nathans

I’m not ashamed
To say that I still wander
In the imaginary wild
A small escape
From all this clang and thunder
I’m in my old world for a while

Feel that spinning in my head
Don’t want to get out of bed
But you gotta try
And hang on for the ride
Mornings when my train is late
When I stumble out that gate
Don’t go asking why
Hang on for the ride


In every deed
There is a deeper meaning
Go make an effort for the good
And pay no heed
To all that second guessing
You’re doing everything you should

Mornings when I don’t feel right
When I wanna quit the fight
But you gotta try
And hang on for the ride
Days I feel my heart collapse
Days when you just have to laugh
Don’t go asking why
Hang on for the ride

Here’s a promise
There’s a letter
From the future
Things get better
They’re already getting better

It’s your world, too
You have a right to walk it
That place is holding someone’s hand

Now go step out into your life
It’s not the one you had in mind
But it’ll be all right
Hang on for the ride
And when you stumble on that grace
Let it wash upon your face
Watch for the surprise
Hang on for the ride

When you doubt that this will pass
Remember we were built to last
Don’t go asking why
Hang on for the ride
When you doubt that this will pass
Remember we were built to last
Don’t go asking why
Hang on for the ride
