Hold On

[Intro]  
Whispers echo through the night,  
Fading shadows, take their flight.  
Lost in thought, beneath the streetlight,  
Memories linger, just out of sight.  
  
[Verse 1]  
In the alleys where we played,  
The laughter dances, now it’s frayed.  
Every moment, a bittersweet parade,  
The ghosts of youth, they’re not afraid.  
  
[Pre-Chorus]  
From the miles we walked in stride,  
To the fears we held inside,  
Time like whispers, won’t abide,  
But here I stand, without a guide.  
  
[Chorus]  
Hold on, hold on, it’s all slipping away,  
Hold on, hold on, can’t you hear me say?  
Hold on, hold on, don’t fade into gray,  
Hold on, hold on, we’ll find our way.  
  
[Verse 2]  
The neon lights, they cast a glow,  
On streets where only dreams can grow.  
Chasing shadows, never slow,  
Where did we go, where didn’t we know?  
  
[Pre-Chorus]  
From the bridges we burned behind,  
To the paths we left unlined,  
Days keep shifting, undefined,  
A kaleidoscope of heart and mind.  
  
[Chorus]  
Hold on, hold on, it’s all slipping away,  
Hold on, hold on, can’t you hear me say?  
Hold on, hold on, don’t fade into gray,  
Hold on, hold on, we’ll find our way.  
  
[Bridge]  
Beneath the weight of all we’ve lost,  
We like to think of what it cost.  
In fractured light, reflections cross,  
Yet in this moment, we’ve not lost.  
  
[Chorus]  
Hold on, hold on, it’s all slipping away,  
Hold on, hold on, can’t you hear me say?  
Hold on, hold on, don’t fade into gray,  
Hold on, hold on, we’ll find our way.  
  
[Outro]  
So take a breath, let silence reign,  
In the echoes, there’s no pain.  
Always searching, never tame,  
Hold on tight, we’ll play this game.
