Hold On Be Strong
Maria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love can be hard sometimes
Yes it can catch you off guard like bad crimes
Yes it can make you depressed and angry
Make you say why me why won't anybody try me

You might be saying ooh, I don't wanna be lonely
Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself
Ooh, don't wanna be lonely
Why ain't anybody lovin? me

But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
There is always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong

Love can go away forever if you push it
And you have to remember don't rush it
If it ain't right it is wrong
And you'll be crying why me, why won' anybody try me

You might be saying ooh, I don't wanna be lonely
Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself
Ooh, don't wanna be lonely -no, no
Why ain't anybody lovin' me

But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
There is always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong

Yes, there's aways someone out there who'll be there for you,
There is always someone out there who'll care for you
There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true,
Hold on, hold on, be strong,




Hold on, hold on, be strong
My child hold on, hold on be strong

This might be the most underrated Eurovision song ever

@Dutchgguy1

It came in fifth, not. Very unerated.

@numbo655

@@Dutchgguy1 That's true, it just feels like it has a different quality to it than almost all other esc songs. Like alot of esc songs are good in an esc-context. This is just good on its own. Almost like it's too good for esc. I mean just compare it to some other 5th place songs....

@daintydalmatian

@@numbo655 just like Iceland 2009, this is too good for Eurovision

@OrLuski1
