Hold On Tight — текст песни (Jimmy Somerville)

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 TIEGHT 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
