From the recording Rising Phoenix
“Hold On” is survival mode. It is the quiet voice inside telling you not to give up, even when you feel exhausted. This song represents the first shift from darkness toward hope.
Lyrics
Is it a thought
Or it's just a thought
Is it the end
Or am I still alive
The weight on my chest
Keeps pulling me down
I'm lost in the noise
No peace to be found
I'm calling out
You lift me to hope when I'm sinking in fear
You tell me to rise when the path isn't clear
Through the silence
I hear Your voice call my name
And I'll hold on
Yes, I'll hold on
Through the strength you give
I'll hold on
Am I walking to a future
I cannot see
Am I walking into the shadows
Will You meet me
The questions keep spinning
I cannot catch my breath
Am I moving, moving forward, or closer to the end
I'm calling out
You lift me to hope when I'm sinking in fear
You tell me to rise when the path isn't clear
Through the silence
I hear Your voice call my name
And I'll hold on
Yes, I'll hold on
Through the strength you give
I'll hold on
Every step, every step
Feels like falling apart
But I feel, I feel
Your whisper deep in my heart
You're the spark, the fire, the call to rise
Through the ashes, I'll open my eyes
I'm calling out
You lift me to hope when I'm sinking in fear
You tell me to rise when the path isn't clear
Through the silence
I hear Your voice call my name
And I'll hold on
Yes, I'll hold on
Through the strength you give
