Hang On

If we stand in the darkness
Afraid of our own light
After all of the effort we put in at night
When we’ve sat for hours
Trying to release our ideas
With our backs against the wall
Covered in tears
Having fears that our best isn’t good
But holding onto hope
Just in case that we could
Go further and higher
Because someone believes
Somebody, a stranger
For once it’s not just me
To hold your own when all hope is gone
To display belief when it seems there’s none
To have your pride come from deep inside
To say that it’s your vision and you’ll make it in time
But to hold on just that minute longer
When the air of doubt is getting stronger
When your temperament becomes quick to anger
When you’re hanging on by your little finger
The tide will change for the effort you gave
Many had fallen
Where you had stayed
Your prayers will be answered
In the nick of time
Step out from your shadow
Start to shine
