Hold On

Hold on, hold on
 There's got to be a future
 Hold on
 Hold on, hold on
 There's got to be a future
 or the world will end today

 The sun will melt away
 The sky so dark decay
 and summer, spring and autumn, winter
 melt into a single moment
 poured into the past
 like a [bad word] dry at last
 Hold on
 Hold on

 There's got to be a future
 to create and to defend
 so the world can never end
 Hold on
 Things can't be quite so bad
 that all we have and all we had
 never were and won't return
 lost in a fire that cannot burn
 Hold on
 Hold on

 Hold on, hold on
 There's got to be a future
 or the world will end today

 Look around, look around
 The rain is falling from the sky
 Planes taking off to fly
 The swooping birds and barking dogs
 Shopping malls and catalogues
 Traffic stopped on busy streets
 Lovers lying between the sheets
 Business [bad word] freaks
 modern artists, new techniques
 [bad word] and money goes
 Children cry and still suppose
 there's got to be a future
 Hold on

 Hold on, hold on
 There's got to be a future
 or the world will end today
 Hold on, hold on
 There's got to be a future
 Hold on
