People Hold On
Lisa Stansfield / Dirty Rotten Scoundrel Lyrics

Everybody's looking for a meaning
Everyone wants to find a deeper purpose in life.

Everybody's doing their own thing
Everyone is pursuing their own unique path.

And nobody's solving the problem
No one is taking action to address the issue at hand.

Ain't nobody helping each other
No one is offering assistance or support to one another.

Some people give into fear
Certain individuals succumb to their anxieties.

Some people give into hunger
Some people prioritize their physical desires over other concerns.

Some of us live for the future
Some individuals focus on long-term goals and aspirations.

And some of us wonder
Others contemplate and question the world around them.

Givin' into life, givin' into love
Embracing existence and affection for others.

Maybe there's enough for everyone
Perhaps there is plenty to go around for all.

Everybody's getting frustrated
People are becoming increasingly irritated or agitated.

Why should we live with this hatred
Why should we tolerate living with animosity.

We've all dancin' on a thin line
We are all living dangerously or precariously.

They're makin' out we're having a good time
Other people are creating the impression that we are enjoying ourselves.

So who's gonna give us the answer
Who will provide the solution or explanation we seek.

People hold on, Don't do yourself wrong
Keep going, don't give up on yourself too soon.

We've got to be strong, People hold on
We must persevere and remain steadfast.

People hold on, people hold on to it, you know you gotta do it
Stay strong and don't give up, it's essential to keep moving forward.
