Jack Davis and Crossbite - The Branch lyrics

He holds on, anyway He holds on into another day Works fourteen hours, it's not enough For six years he'd been going, when the going it got tough He's wondering why the company had to let him go He's wondering if he'll have a home anymore His feet and mind feel like they've been ground down Tells his best friend, as they share one last round, "'Bro, I'm more lost than found" She holds on, anyway She holds on into another day Looks for ways out, and draws a blank 'Cause the house her daddy left her is going to the bank She's wondering why feels like you're always at point A Looks to the sky, clouds that keep turning into grey Nights on the phone, she says "Mama, I just can't go on" Her mom says "Babe, I have learned, if you can smile, then you've won" Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling Rain keeps coming, wind keeps blowing We're dangling from the tree of life People falling all around you But a voice inside you says "Don't let go" We hold on, anyway We hold on right through our judgement day We march on, though nothing's sure We go on, and hope our illness has a cure We're wondering why this life 'aint like we once had hoped We're wondering how to change most everything and cope Each day and night, a test we don't know if we'll pa** Keep holding on, let go the past, and we'll get there at last Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling
