Lyrics HOLD ON, YOU BELONG (People Like Us) - Ryan Cassata , Hello Noon

They said take that hat off
You can't wear your hair short
You're just a little child
And you're too young to know yourself
When you grow up, you'll want something else
Don't let your thoughts run wild
They told me to stay pretty faced
Don't you change what God creates
You're our Sarah Belle
Don't you pick a new name
That's not what your mama gave
Or you'll be by yourself

Hold on, hold on
I don't belong, I don't belong
I'm so scared, and I'm so blue
And I'm holding on so tightly, I'll tell them off politely
And the going gets more rough the longer I stay true
Sometimes you just gotta put through
I guess it's something to get used to

They said share your story
Come on, say one thing
That you wish you knew
The wisdom from your now days
From the marches and the pride parades
But have you seen the news?
How did you make it?
How'd you stay so patient?
When the laws attack?
And what about this legislation?
Will my family embrace it?
Or will they have my back?

Hold on, hold on
You belong, you belong
I once was scared like you
And I held on so tightly
I told them off politely
And the going, it gets easier the longer you push through
It's just something people like us get used to
It's just something you're gonna have to get used to
Hold on, hold on
You belong, you belong
I once was scared like you
So hold on so tightly
Tell them off politely
And the going, it gets easier the longer you push through
It's just something people like us get used to
It's just something you're gonna have to get used to
It's just something people like us get used to
It's just something you're gonna have to get used to
Hold on, Hold on
You belong, you belong
Hold on, you belong
Hold on, hold on
You belong, you belong
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on
