lyrics

HOLD ON

When you’re caught in a cage of your own design
Pretending to the world that you’re doing fine
It’s been a long time since your sky’s been blue
And the sleepless nights have got the better of you

When the light is fading in her eyes
Su Estrella rises in the night

Hold on, it won’t be long
Hold on for the right time
Hold on & see it through
Hold on for the next time

When the fire is falling from the sky
They steal your homes & burn the place you hide
There’s nothing left of the life you knew
Your fear-stained pride’s the currency of youth

When all hope is draining from the knife
Tu Estrella rises in the night

Hold on, it won’t be long
Hold on for the right time
Hold on & see it through
Hold on for the next time

When your tattered flag won’t fly
And your tears no longer dry
I will hold your hand
And take you home

Hold on, it won’t be long
Hold on for the right time
Hold on & see it through
Hold on for the next time

Hold on, it won’t be long
Hold on for the right time
Sky of blue & sea of gold
Hold on for the next time
