Hold On Songtext
von KT Tunstall

Say you to me, "You′re a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searching the land for a hero of a man"
You say I need more than my fair share of attention
But I think you know that just isn't so

Ooh, underneath I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearing me apart right from the very start
And now I see that it don′t take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong, so long, you'll see

Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on to what you know you′ve got
Hold on to what you′ve been given lately
Hold on, 'cause the world will turn, if you′re ready or not

Simplicity, a heart of gold, an old head and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely, becoming part of me
And now I see from a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burning furiously


I was tired of January, I was tired of June
I felt the change a-coming
Oh-oo-wow-oo-wow
I was tired of January, tired of June
I felt the change a-coming
Wow, ho-ho-ho
Ooh, I felt the change a-coming
I felt the change a-coming
Felt the change a-coming soon
Wow-ho-ho

(Hold on) hold on (to what you) what you ('ve been given) ′ve been given (lately) lately
(Hold on) hold on (to what you) to what you know you've got (know you′ve got)
Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on, 'cause the world will turn, if you′re ready or not

Wow-ho-ho (hold on) hold on (to what you) to what you (′ve been given) 've been given (lately) lately
(Hold on) hold on (to what you) to what you know you′ve got (know you've got)
(Hold on) hold on (to what you) to what you (′ve been given) 've been given (lately) lately
(Hold on) ′cause the world will turn, if you're ready or not

Oh yeah, well, the world will turn if you're ready or not
Wow-ho, yes, the world will turn, if you′re ready or not
