So you flung your fist high in the air
   But the world remained the same
   And all the demonstrations
   Filtered out through graduation
   And the times that were a changing
   Never changed
   Freedom takes on new meaning
   When you have a family of five
   And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
   When you're fighting for your life
   Just to survive
  
   It's then you've gotta
  
   Hold on - for what you believe in
   Hold on - don't let it fade
   Still you've gotta
   Be strong - find yourself a reason
   You never change the world
   But just the same
   You've gotta hold on stronger
   Each and every day
   When the night creeps in so hollow
   When the silence makes you scream
   When you're so damned scared of failure
   When the world's burned out it's saviors
   When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
  
   It's then you've gotta
   Hold on - for what you believe in
   Hold on - don't let it fade
   Still you've gotta
   Be strong - find yourself a reason
   You never change the world
   But just the same
   You've gotta hold on stronger
   Or else you'll fade
