Man Alive Hold On Lyrics

Recent twists of history bring me
Back to where we were
To times when battlegrounds were far away
When a reminiscent man could
Gather crowds around at will
It seems like yesterday yet still forever
I remember fearing nothin' waiting for a change
Longin' for a break from every day
And I still remember how it was the day you finally came
You took back everything
But the fact it still remains

We've gotta hold on
Hold on
(2x)

And things seemed to settle down
Around the turn of '92
And life whent on as normal and as planned
But it took a couple years For it to make its loud return
It never left again
It just got stronger
To the skeptics and the hardened
Of the world so far away
It reared its evil face one fateful day
When I see believers after things like this
All I can say is
It'll be okay
But the fact it still remains

We've gotta hold on
Hold on
(2x)

So stand up by me
Stand up strong now
Stand up by me
Stand up strong now
Stand up by me
Stand up strong now
Stand up by me strong
Yeah!

We've gotta hold on
Hold on
(2x)
