Help Me To Hold On

On the corner of Division Street, the weather is getting cold
The wind whips by the buildings and they say it’s going to snow
He sits there on a curb side as sad as sad can be
It really doesn’t matter now what brought his misery
He says

Help me to hold on don’t let me let go
Lord it’s the only prayer that I know
It surely ain’t much but I’m down so low
Help me to hold on don’t let me let go

These apartments sure are drafty now, not safe by any means
Especially for a young girl who’s barely seventeen
Bad choices and a bad man confused inside her head
She’s about to pull the trigger but then she prays instead

Help me to hold on don’t let me let go
Lord it’s the only prayer that I know
It surely ain’t much but I’m down so low
Help me to hold on don’t let me let go

It’s so easy to judge but if you look down deep inside
You too might remember a time when you cried

Help me to hold on don’t let me let go
Lord it’s the only prayer that I know
It surely ain’t much, but I’m down so low
Help me to hold on don’t let me let go.
