Holding On
Ru Lyrics

This song right here...
Introductory line to the song

For everybody out there...
The song is for everyone listening

Striving hard...
People trying their best

Trying to be something, trying to have something...
Attempting to achieve goals and attain possessions

Just letting you know I feel ya...
The artist empathizes with the listener's struggles

Every morning, that I wake up...
The artist wakes up daily with aspirations

I wonder, how things will shape up...
The artist ponders how their life will play out

Will I succeed, and fulfill my dreams...
The artist considers if they will achieve their aspirations

And then one day see, what seems far from me...
Hoping to eventually attain distant goals

Sometimes in my heart, I feel weary yea...
The artist sometimes feels emotionally exhausted

Eyes get teary yea, vision ain't no clearer yea...
The artist may cry and not be able to see the outcome

But I'm still here, though I'm feeling down...
Despite feeling low, the artist persists

Something in me, won't let me lay down...
The artist is determined not to give up

See the children, they look and listen...
Kids are observant and attentive to the world around them

Though not knowing, what it is they witness...
Children may not understand everything they see

All the hurt and pain, lying, dirt and games...
The world can be filled with negative experiences

It's no wonder why, this world seems so insane...
With all the negativity, it's understandable for the world to seem crazy

Trying to change it, seems crazy...
Attempting to create positive change can feel difficult and overwhelming

It just makes you feel, what's the use in praying...
In difficult times, one may question the effectiveness of prayer

But some people still, trying to love and live...
Despite hardships, some people focus on love and living

Showing old and young that we all are one...
Promoting unity between generations

Helping me to still strive...
Those promoting positivity assist the artist's efforts

It's a new day, what will it bring...
A new day means new possibilities

What chances to move forward will you see...
Opportunities for progress may be present

Will you spread love or breed hate...
The listener has a choice to promote love or hate

Will you keep it real or will you be fake...
The listener must decide if they will be genuine or fake

Do you believe, you can achieve...
Believing in oneself is important for success

If not then why, is it that you still dream...
The artist encourages listeners to continue dreaming despite doubts

For the strugglers and the hustlers trying to make it out...
The artist recognizes those working hard

When it seems too hard, I hope this song helps you thug it out...
The artist wants their song to motivate listeners in difficult times

I'm holding on...
The artist is still persevering through hardships

I'm steady holding on...
The artist is determinedly persisting through struggles
