Hold on forever, hold on forever 'Til I can get everything in place Well, hold on forever, hold on forever 'Til I can see my shapeless face I've got to smile on forever Smile 'cause there's a me for you to joy That's a smile, smile, smile Well, this song is for every girl and boy I've had good times, I've had bad times I haven't had enough I have my ups and down, I've been turned around I haven't given up Don't you know everybody have to walk the line? I have had to do my time, it's a shame my song's for free And everybody knows that's the way it goes The Lord is watching over me I think I really better hold on forever, hold on forever 'Cause there's a smile I'd like to wear I'll hold on forever, hold on forever 'Cause, 'cause there's some joy I've got to share I wanna thank somebody [?] That may keep on holding on That may keep on holding on [?] I keep holding on, I keep holding on I keep on holding on, I keep seeing face Nothing in the world can take this face I, I, I keep holding, I'm holding I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding
