THOUGHT MY HOPES HAD DIED THAT NIGHT

I SAW THE FUTURE SLOWLY SLIP AWAY

SEEMS WE'VE GOT THIS GREAT DIVIDE

SELF-GAIN AND GREED HAVE HAD THEIR WICKED WAY

NOW, NOW WE'VE GO FIVE MORE YEARS

AND WASTED TEARS WON'T WASH THIS STAIN AWAY

THE DAYS AHEAD LOOK BLEAK FOR SOME

THE FEAST FOR OTHERS HAS BEGUN

HOLD ON TIGHT

HOLD ON TIGHT

HOLD ON TIGHT

TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT

HOW I FELT DESPAIR THAT NIGHT

OUR FEARS HAVE SURFACED ONCE AGAIN

SHAME, ASHAMED AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE

BY MAKING IT A LITTLE HARDER FOR ME AND YOU

NOW I ASK WHAT CAN BE DONE

DOWN THESE CRUMBLING STREETS

A WIND OF CHANGE MUST COME

AS I TAKE YOU IN MY ARMS

WE WILL PROUDLY WALK AND NEVER RUN.

HOLD ON TIGHT

HOLD ON TIGHT

HOLD ON TIGHT

TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT

SOME HAVE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE

IT WASN'T ALL THAT LONG AGO

THEY'VE SOLD US LIES, THEY'VE SOLD US LIES

GLASS HOUSES IN THE CITY, RETREATS AT ILE DES CHIENS

TIME TO GET UP OFF OUR KNEES

AND WORK TO TOWARDS A BRIGHTER DAY

ALL THE HOPES I THOUGHT I'D LOST THAT NIGHT

WILL GIVE ME STRENGTH TO OVERCOME
