Hold On
by E. Pettersen

Album: Songs from Apt.316

When I think about the country I was raised in
Where freedom shone her light from sea to sea
I shed a tear because I feel betrayed in
This country that s not what it used to be

Our sons go off to war like lambs to slaughter
For people who still hate them just the same
While our city streets cry out for law and order
Now there s nothing left to cling to but His name

Chorus:
Hold on to the Lord who gave you your tomorrows
Hold onto the King who threw away your past
Hold on to the One who took away your sorrows
Hold onto the love of Jesus
The only thing that s gonna last

Our teachers feed our children evolution
And say that it s politically correct
While our country s on the verge of revolution
Cause our constitution suffers from neglect...
America s respect has gone to tatters
She s just a ghost of what she used to be...
Cause we ve given up on everything that matters
Our faith in God and the strength that kept us free...
REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:
I ve tried to turn the other cheek but now
It s time to stand and speak and tell them who we are
It s time to let them hear our voice
Remind them that we have a choice
And pray it hasn t gone too far
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
