Hold On
Shawn McDonald Lyrics

Another day gone by
Reflecting upon the passage of time and the emotions and experiences felt throughout each day.

And again I ask myself why
Questioning one's own thoughts and beliefs, and trying to understand their motivation for those beliefs.

I question my sanity
Wondering if one's beliefs or actions are rational or reasonable in the eyes of others or society.

Why I believe what I believe
Seeking a deeper understanding of one's own beliefs, and trying to articulate those beliefs to oneself and others.

Some might think that I am crazy
Acknowledging that others may not understand or accept one's beliefs, and that this misunderstanding may lead to judgment or ridicule.

For believing in something I cannot see
Holding a firm belief in something that is not tangible or physically present, and understanding that this requires faith and trust.

So won't You now
Addressing a higher power or authority, and asking for help or guidance.

Hold on to me, hold on
Requesting support and comfort from a higher power, and seeking assurance that one is not alone.

Please don't let me go no, no, hold on
Pleading for continued support and comfort, recognizing that one's faith may falter or be tested.

'Cause I am prone to wonder
Admitting the possibility of doubt or uncertainty, and recognizing one's own potential for questioning or straying from their faith.

Prone to leave this faith I know
Acknowledging the temptation to abandon one's faith or beliefs, and asking for help in resisting this temptation.

And now they say that the wise man
Considering the opinions and advice of others, and recognizing the value of wisdom and knowledge.

Well, he fears the Lord
Understanding the importance of respect and awe for a higher power or authority.

And this fear, well, it's the beginning of all wisdom
Recognizing the role of fear or reverence in developing wisdom and knowledge, and valuing this process.

And I must be a fool
Admitting one's own inadequacies or shortcomings, and recognizing the need for growth and self-improvement.

'Cause I sure don't seem to fear You
Acknowledging a lack of respect or awe for a higher power, and recognizing the need for change or reflection.

'Cause the very things that You will me to do
Referring to the responsibilities or obligations that one believes are required by a higher power or authority.

Well, I just don't seem to get around to
Admitting the difficulty of fulfilling these responsibilities or obligations, and recognizing the need for improvement or strength.

The very things that You hate
Acknowledging certain actions or behaviors that are contrary to the beliefs or expectations of a higher power or authority.

Are the very things that I always stumble into
Recognizing one's own weakness or tendency to fall short, and acknowledging the need for support and guidance.

Won't You hold on
Repeating the request for support and comfort from a higher power.

Won't You hold on to me
Emphasizing the personal and emotional connection with a higher power, and expressing a desire for continued support and guidance.
