Used to live in the danger zone, any day it could get too rough

Now I'm glad I kept holding on, now I'm glad I had soul enough

You turned night into day and showed me how my soul could sing

You took my hurt away and showed me love conquers anything

When two hearts both feel the same, there's a way to beat the game

Holding on, now I'm standing in the light

Holding on, and this time I've got it right

Holding on, every day and every night

Holding on.

Fall asleep in your lover's arms and it's just like it ought to be

Just be thankful she keeps you warm in a world where there's nothing free

Give her love every day and pay attention when she dreams

And she'll be good to you 'cause sometimes love is just what it seems

When two hearts both feel the same, there's a way to beat the game

See the mountain water running down into streams

How it holds on forever, we'll be holding on forever

People soul-searching all night long for a reason to help them live

And I do hope they hear this song, get through take and you get to give

It can be in a smile, it can be there in a touch

It warms the world awhile, when it's love it can't be too much
