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 SWIMMING 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
