People Hold On
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody's doing their own thing
And nobody's solving the problem
Ain't nobody helping each other
Some people give into fear
Some people give into hunger
Some of us live for the future
Givin' into life, givin' into love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Givin' into hope, and into trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
[Chorus]
People hold on
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on
Everybody's getting frustrated
Why should we live with this hatred
We've all dancin' on a thin line
They're makin' out we're having a good time
So who's gonna give us the answer
Sister and brother
Givin' into life, givin' into love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
[Chorus]
People hold on, people hold on to it
you know you gotta do it
Givin' into life, givin' into love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Givin' into hope, and into trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
[Chorus]
The song "People Hold On" by Dave Pearce talks about the struggles of society and how everyone is focusing on their own thing instead of working together to solve problems. The first verse highlights the fact that people are not helping each other and are giving into their fears and desires for materialistic things. The chorus urges people to hold on and be strong in the face of adversity and to not do themselves wrong.
The second verse highlights the frustration and hatred that exists within society and how we are all just dancing on a thin line. The lyrics ask the question of who will give us the answer to these problems and to come together as sister and brother to solve them. The song then ends with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the need for people to hold on and work together.
Overall, the song is a call for unity and to come together as a society instead of being divided by our individual desires and fears.

Being on the street so much I would have thought the kid might have learned a few things. But I would be wrong thinking that I guess. When Boy opens a door for him--- why not open it a bit more and hop on through.
'Guitar? Well... yes, maybe....ah...... next time???!'
Seemed like a SNIVELING and stupid response, to me. I did not like this performer, personally. Just because of his snotty reaction.
Had it been me, ' you want me to do while standing on my head!!? SURE! I can do that!!! '
You have to RECOGNIZE your OPPORTUNITIES whenever/where ever they occur!! And make the MOST of them when they occur!!!
@paulortiz2035
But that does not make him star quality in any shape, form or kind!!!
He might sing ok but he had/HAS no 'Star' quality. None!
No one would go out of their way to go see him. Let alone pay money to hear him. He is NOT likeble!!!
Barbra Streisand, on the other hand, can draw a crowd. A HUGE CROWD!!!
Always could!!!!
Always did!!!
Still does!!!!
This guy???? Can't fill a small pub, with paid attendees!!!
HE IS NOT, SIMPLY, VERY LIKEABLE!!!
MAYBE TO A FEW BUT NOT TO VERY MANY!!!
HE HAS NO 'IT' FACTOR.
NONE AT ALL!!!
SO---- GAME OVER!!!

@Sparen66
They totally knew the tune and lyrics to his original in the audition. Once they heard the opening they knew which one it was. To have parents who know your lyrics to songs no one else has heard shows such support and love!
