Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got.

The world is changing in a biased way

And the sword cuts both ways at last

Do we live in fear? is our conscience clear?

With so many questions I've asked.

Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close

Keep your children by your side.

And hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers

Hold onto what you've got.

A change is gonna come, sam cooke once sang

Oh, lay down that burden of hate

With cities divided and the homeless crying

Equality for all someday.

Keep your loved ones safe, keep your family close

Keep your children by your side.

And hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Sisters and mothers, fathers and brothers

Hold onto what you've got.

With the courtesy of kindness

And the currency of love

May the words of john lewis never fade

To the bigots and the racists

And those who divide us

Feel the spotlight of justice some day, oh-oh...

Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got

Hold on, hold on

Hold onto what you've got.
