Hang On

When life is filled with pain, hang on,
for tomorrow may bring comfort
and who knows joy may come your way
don’t despair, life is uncertain.

Be it a greater hell, believe
When life is filled with pain, hang on,
And if it doesn’t, don’t despair.
Times not right for surrender.

Give time its due and see the end
what’s wrought in store is yours to know
When life is filled with pain, hang on.
Surprise things happen all the time

There’s time to fight and time to know
when it’s foolish to continue.
But till then give sweet hope its chance
When life is filled with pain, hang on,
