This grim reality casts a gloom in our hearts A grim struggle The night of d**h The day that life was cold Pleading in the moonlight In the fullness of time we live and learn And we die soulless This is not a dream This is only reality By and by you hear my words You can't deny morality (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams Please don't let go Of life's distress (Hold on) Hold on to your dreams It makes you feel more alive Inspired by a past of pain The only sense I have to make me alive Life is hitting so hard, Without a true meaning This is my only shallow heart Hold on Please don't let go Of life's distress Hold on It makes you feel more alive
