Hold On from Rock Robot by Paul Wilcock

I had plans but they all went wrong
I try to be a man tough it out and stay strong you can lean on me
I can help you through if you let me lean back when I need to
It's not the life I wanted but we don't get to choose make the best of it nobody else can walk in your shoes
We can still dream we can hope for the best
But I really need a rest

Every day is a struggle but I have to fight
Life punched me in the guts but I refuse to die
Like houdini I'll escape somehow we've got to keep going cos we're needed now
You can depend on me, I do everything I do to lift you above the endless sea of blues
That I'm drowning in
I keep holding my breath for a miracle or something, things have to get better, believe me, the magic number is 3

I used to keep score but there's no point now
I don't bother anymore we're losers for sure
Just try to live to a hundred that's my goal
You need me around not in a cemetery hole
So I keep working for money, make you laugh being funny, look after my body, and I try not to worry. What else can we possibly do I know it's hard but I love you with all my heart

You've got to play the cards you've been dealt
There's no folding now, but the stakes get higher I need help and you're with me now
It's all or nothing go hard til we die, no choice, no option this is what we do for life

Just hold on
To hope
We'll find the end of the rainbow
Just hold on
To your dreams
And hold on tight to me
