Hold On 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Counted every penny that I earned tonight

Tucked the bills into a worn leather wallet tight

Fifteen minutes left on this long stretch of floor

Still got sweat rolling down my palms like before

Saw a kid come in with eyes that shone so bright

Working his first shift, running from the light

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising?

Every single second turning into gold

Is this what they mean by moving forward?

Something in me is breaking free now

Chorus

Hold on to the spark

Hold on when your body says let go

It's worth every single scar

It's worth every dollar you've made so far

Breathe it in, breathe it deep

This is where the best of you sleep

Verse 2

Clock ticked five and I clocked out slow

Wiped my sweat against a sticky register row

Walked outside into a sky that turned pink gold

Felt every tired muscle unfold

Saw myself standing right where I started from

Same worn shoes, same heavy drum

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising?

Every single second turning into gold

Is this what they mean by moving forward?

Something in me is breaking free now

Chorus

Hold on to the spark

Hold on when your body says let go

It's worth every single scar

It's worth every dollar you've made so far

Breathe it in, breathe it deep

This is where the best of you sleep

Bridge

Maybe I'm not out from under yet

Maybe this is just a lesson to repeat

But at least I kept my hands up on the grind

At least I never let it leave me blind

Gold ain't what you hold in your hand tonight

It's the way that light still shines inside

Chorus

Hold on to the spark

Hold on when your body says let go

It's worth every single scar

It's worth every dollar you've made so far

Breathe it in, breathe it deep

This is where the best of you sleep
