Lyrics
Everything feels crazy
Everything’s gone mad
They’re trying to confuse us
Take everything that we have
They are playing the oldest game
Distract you as they shift the blame
We’ve got to hold on to each other
The best that we can
I’ve got you if you’ve got me
We have to take a stand
We can’t let them tear us apart
We have to be strong, we have to believe
We’re gonna make it through
So hold on.
They’re tearing us apart
They’re doing all they can
They want to erase us, they want to replace us
It’s part of their plan
And if you don’t fall in line
They’ll leave you far behind
We’ve got to hold on to each other
The best that we can I’ve got you if you’ve got me
We have to take a stand
We can’t let them tear us apart
We have to be strong, we have to believe
We’re gonna make it through
Don’t you dare give up
Don’t you dare give in
Don’t you dare bow out
Don’t you let them win
If we remember what’s at stake
We won’t have a reason to break
We’ve got to hold on to each other
The best that we can
I’ve got you if you’ve got me
We have to take a stand
We can’t let them tear us apart
We have to be strong, we have to believe
We’re gonna make it through
So hold on.
