Hold On Till Sunrise (Version 2)

Verse 1

Streetlight dying on the corner store

Glass door rattles every time you open it for more

I count the minutes left before the sun goes gold

Every dollar counts but this is worth the whole world to hold

The block went quiet at midnight, we're still here now

Your voice cuts through the static of the city's tired sigh

We ain't chasing nothing that the night won't give us back

This whole neighborhood been dreaming on a loan that never breaks

Every window lit up like a prayer let loose tonight

Every single one of 'em knows it's gonna be alright

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine turning over slow?

Something in my chest is ready to know

Is this the hour when we finally break through?

I don't wanna wait till I forget your truth

Chorus

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

We built a whole new world off borrowed light tonight

Every heartbeat calls out for daylight now

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

Nothing matters but this moment's truth

One more hour and we own the sky again

Verse 2

The corner man lights up his grill like it's our own flag in flight

Your jacket sleeve is torn but it still looks like armor tonight

My brother sleeping behind the chain-link fence below

He believes what I believe, this is where our dreams grow

I've been chasing shadows since before you came home

This block don't ask for credit when we're living for one more dawn

Every shadow folds into something new and gold when morning breaks

The whole street holds its breath but the night ain't scared of us yet

We keep dancing like the sun's already ours to keep

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that engine turning over slow?

Something in my chest is ready to know

Is this the hour when we finally break through?

I don't wanna wait till I forget your truth

Chorus

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

We built a whole new world off borrowed light tonight

Every heartbeat calls out for daylight now

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

Nothing matters but this moment's truth

One more hour and we own the sky again

Bridge

If tomorrow breaks like every promise it made

If they say we're lucky just because we didn't fade

I'm gonna tell them that was the whole point all along

The block don't need to shine for anyone else but us now

Every window lit up like a prayer let loose tonight

We ain't asking nobody's permission to hold on

Chorus

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

We built a whole new world off borrowed light tonight

Every heartbeat calls out for daylight now

Hold on till sunrise, hold on till sunrise

Nothing matters but this moment's truth

One more hour and we own the sky again
