Hold On Tight Lyrics by The Communards

Red

1987

Thought my hopes had died that night
I saw the future slowly slip away
Seems we've got this great divide
Self-gain and greed have had their wicked way
Now, now we've go five more years
And wasted tears won't wash this stain away
The days ahead look bleak for some
The feast for others has begun
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you got
How I felt despair that night
Our fears have surfaced once again
Shame, ashamed at what they've done
By making it a little harder for me and you
Now I ask what can be done
Down these crumbling streets
A wind of change must come
As I take you in my arms
We will proudly walk
We'll never run
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you got
Some have seen it all before
It wasn't all that long ago
They've sold us lies, they've sold us lies
Glass houses in the city
Retreats at Isle of Dogs
Time to get up our armies
And work to towards
Towards a brighter day
All the hopes I thought I'd lost that night
Will give me strength to overcome
Keep on holding on
Keep on holding on
Keep on holding on
Keep a hold of what you got
Keep on holding on
So
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight
(Keep on) Hold on tight to what you've got
