If We Hold On Together
Diana Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to mend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark, we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
The lyrics to Diana Ross's "If We Hold On Together" are about perseverance and hope. In the face of difficult times, the singer encourages the listener to keep moving forward, to live believing that there are wonders waiting to start. The words "Don't lose your way / With each passing day / You've come so far / Don't throw it away" are a reminder that even when it feels like things are falling apart, progress has been made and it's important to keep pushing forward. The line "Live your story / Faith, hope and glory / Hold to the truth in your heart" reminds the listener that their life is their own, and that in order to succeed, they need to hold onto their own beliefs and convictions.
The chorus of the song is a message of hope. "If we hold on together / I know our dreams will never die / Dreams see us through to forever / Where clouds roll by / For you and I" reminds the listener that anything is possible if they hold on, and that their dreams will see them through even the roughest of times. The words "Souls in the wind / Must learn how to mend / Seek out a star / Hold on to the end" suggest that the journey may be difficult, but that finding a guiding light is key to success.
The song is ultimately about finding the hope and strength to continue forward, no matter what obstacles may arise. The imagery of mountains, valleys, and stars all suggest that there is something greater out there, waiting to be found, and that success is possible with determination and persistence.

This song has always made me tear up as a kid and still does now, as an adult. Its crazy to see that pretty much everyone else said the same thing. ❤
@ChodeMan2000
Same!

I love this song. It reminds my childhood memories
@neweyemootz
Definitely one of my most favored and tear jerking songs and I think it’s because it can be tied to so many things. Family, pets, childhood, relationships…. I also had a small amount of friends as a kid and listening to this piece makes me realize how precious those years are. Certainly more so than I knew at the time.
Whenever I find myself in a negative mood, I put this song on as well.

I remember The Land Before Time from when I was a kid. At the time, I didn't really have the understanding of death, and was just "kind of sad" at the passing of Littlefoot's mother. Now, at the age of 25, I have rewatched the movie just a few minutes ago, and I couldn't contain my tears at that scene. I cried, not only because I understand the weight of it, but also because I witnessed the passing of my own mother.
My stepfather always said "if a scene like that makes you this emotional, then you're watching a well-made film." And with that, I can say with 100% certainty, The Land Before Time is a masterpiece.

Few songs can touch your heart so deeply that they make the tears flow when you listen .This is one of them
@madisoncastle5138
That’s right
@bigblob2006
I always cry when I hear this. It’s such a beautiful song and reminds me of my childhood bubbling to the land before time. ❤️

My mum used to play this song when I was young in the car. Sadly she passed away two years ago at 54 from ovarian cancer and when I listen to this sing it always makes me cry. The pain of losing her is unbearable I miss and love her so much 💔
@Darkman9478
I know exactly how you feel. My mother died August 26th, 2018, from pancreatic cancer. It tore a hole in my heart so much that I struggle to make peace with her death, even though I know she’s in a much better place now.
