Hold Onto Your Soul

When your down and out and no one seems to care When the only thing positive is fear and despair When the angels have left and the devils grinning And the only thing ahead of you is pain and sinning When the good life then heaven is your goal Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul When drugs and drink have you by a grip And love and happiness is all you want to sip When bills and a tough job has got you down When the one who loves you doesn’t’ want you around When you family is estranged and fallen apart When everything hurts including your heart When the good life then heaven is your goal Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul When it’s the last amen or the final down Break out into laughter smile do not frown When it’s your last breath do not cry Wave your fist in the air say never to goodbye Live a full life capture moments in a net. Don’t worry about everything as a regret Life’s hard you stumble you fall Know matter how much you know you will never learn it all When the good life then heaven is your goal Just fight as hard as you can and hold onto your soul
