Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
|
and I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
|
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
|
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
|
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
|
There's people around who tell you that they know
|
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
|
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
|
But you know you don't have to, you can just say no
|
I've been built up and trusted, broke down and busted
|
But they'll get theirs and we will get ours if you can
|
just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
|
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
|
but I've been trying hard against strong odds
|
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
|
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God
|
