Holding On

Just as it seems you're winning
Fate will knock you back
Just as it seems it's over
You find you're under attack
Just as it's all going smoothly
That's when it's coming apart
Just as it seems it's the finish
That's when it all seems to start

Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on

Just as you find your opponent
You hear he's changing his name
Just as you reach for the rule book
You find they're changing the game
Now that it seems there are chances
Someone has stolen the dice
Now we have access to wisdom
No one is taking advice

Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on

Work as we do and try as we might
I hope and I pray we can keep up the fight

Now as we listen to speeches
We hear that nothing is said
Now there's food in the kitchen
We see that no one is fed
Now that we have all we wanted
Everyone's asking for more
Now that everything's peaceful
It seems we're going to war

Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
Holding on, we are holding on
