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
