So you flung your fist high in the air,
But the world remains the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation,
And the times that were a-changin' never changed

Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution
Dissolve in its own solution
When you're fighting for your life just to survive
'Cause then you've got to

Hold on for what you believe in
Hold on, don't let in fade
Still you've got to be strong,
Find yourself a reason
You never change the world, but just the same,
You've gotta hold on stronger each and every day, yeah

When the night creeps in so hollow,
When the silence makes you scream,
When you're so damn scared of failure,
When the world's burned out of saviors,
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream,
It's then you've got to

Hold on for what you believe in
Hold on, don't let in fade
Still you've got to be strong,
Find yourself a reason
No one change the world, but just the same,
You've gotta hold on to yourself or else you'll fade,
Or else you'll fade,
Or else you'll fade,
Or else you'll fade,
Or else you'll fade
