I was swinging
On the swings
When I was a
Little girl
Trying to get a
Handle on the
Big wide world
When I noticed
All the grass in
The cracks
In the concrete
I said
Where there's
A will
There's a way
Around anything
Life holds on
Given the
Slightest chance
For the weak
And the strong
Life holds on
There was a
Third-grade boy
That we knew
In school
He was found
Face down in a
Swimmin' pool
And as they worked
On that kid
Every minute
Was an hour
And when his eyes
Fluttered open
We could feel
That power
Life holds on
Given the
Slightest chance
For the weak
And the strong
Life holds on
Life holds on
Life holds on
Sirens screaming
Down my street
Fading as they go
Whining
Somewhere
Far away
To someone
I don't know
Still I say
A little prayer
There's always
Hope
Life holds on
Through the
Window in the
Kitchen I can
See outside
My kids taking
Turns coming
Down the slide
And I try not to
Worry as they
Grow a little
Every day
No I've just got
To believe they're
Gonna find
Their way
And that life
Holds on
Given the
Slightest chance
For the weak
And the strong
Life holds on
Life holds on
Life holds on
Life holds on..
