Hold on. ooooo... hold on... ooooo. hold on ummm ha
I am holding holding on
I am holding holding on
I feel like letting go
I feel like letting go
I am holding holding on
I am holding holding on
I feel like letting go
Dear Father it seems like You're at a distance
So I need You much closer to me
My life is not going down the road
In which way I would like it to be
So I'm trying to make the best of everything
That You have given to me
My soul is deep covered I'm drowning in sin
Yes I got to hold on to You
I am holding holding on
I am holding holding on
I feel like letting go
I feel like letting go
I am holding holding on
I am holding holding on
I feel like letting go
I feel like letting go
My life doesn't feel the same without You
So I'm holding on to You
I try to do right but I do wrong Lord
Yes I'm holding on to You
My path is so unclear
Yes I'm holding on to you... yeah
Even though I messed up
Even though I hurt You
Even though I take You for a fool
I am holding holding on
