Communards Hold On Tight Lyrics

THOUGHT MY HOPES HAD DIED THAT NIGHT
I SAW THE FUTURE SLOWLY SLIP AWAY
SEEMS WE'VE GOT THIS GREAT DIVIDE
SELF-GAIN AND GREED HAVE HAD THEIR WICKED WAY
NOW, NOW WE'VE GO FIVE MORE YEARS
AND WASTED TEARS WON'T WASH THIS STAIN AWAY
THE DAYS AHEAD LOOK BLEAK FOR SOME
THE FEAST FOR OTHERS HAS BEGUN

HOLD ON TIGHT
HOLD ON TIGHT
HOLD ON TIGHT
TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT

HOW I FELT DESPAIR THAT NIGHT
OUR FEARS HAVE SURFACED ONCE AGAIN
SHAME, ASHAMED AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE
BY MAKING IT A LITTLE HARDER FOR ME AND YOU
NOW I ASK WHAT CAN BE DONE DOWN THESE CRUMBLING STREETS
A WIND OF CHANGE MUST COME
AS I TAKE YOU IN MY ARMS
WE WILL PROUDLY WALK AND NEVER RUN.

HOLD ON TIGHT
HOLD ON TIGHT
HOLD ON TIGHT
TO WHAT YOU'VE GOT

SOME HAVE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
IT WASN'T ALL THAT LONG AGO
THEY'VE SOLD US LIES, THEY'VE SOLD US LIES
GLASS HOUSES IN THE CITY, RETREATS AT ILE DES CHIENS
TIME TO GET UP OFF OUR KNEES
AND WORK TO TOWARDS A BRIGHTER DAY
ALL THE HOPES I THOUGHT I'D LOST THAT NIGHT
WILL GIVE ME STRENGTH TO OVERCOME
