“ HOLDIN ON “
BY: DEAN GIVENS and DWIGHT EMILE
** HOOK **
HOLDIN ON, HOLDIN ON, HOLDIN ON, I’LL JUST KEEP HOLDIN ON
I OWE IT ALL TO U, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ME THROUGH
TURN MY GRAY SKIES TO BLUE, DO I’LL KEEP HOLDIN ON
AND WHEN I’M FEELING LOW, AND GOT NO PLACE TO GO
IT’S U I WANT TO KNOW, SO I’LL KEEP HOLDIN ON
** VERSE I **
WHEN I WAS A CHILD OF JUST 16, I WAS LIVIN A MAD MANS DREAM
RUNNING THE STREETS TILL THE BREAK OF DAY, THOUGHT I COULD
DO IT MY OWN WAY, I CAN STILL HEAR MY MOTHER SAY
IT’S GONNA CATCH UP TO YOU ONE DAY
** HOOK **
** VERSE II **
WHEN I BECAME A MAN, I REALIZED U HAD A PLAN, IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO TAKE A STAND, PUT THE CHILDISH THINGS AWAY, AND LIVE LIFE FOR TODAY, LORD I’M READY, SO HERE I AM
** HOOK 2 **
NO MATTER WHAT I DO, YOU ALWAYS BRING ME THRU
I OWE IT ALL TO U, SO I’LL KEEP HOLDIN ON…

** HOOK **
