Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama said to me, "Hold on"
You gotta be wise, hold on
Momentary dreams can be gold
Or water through your fingers you can't hold
[Verse 2]
Baby, hold on to the things that you love
Show me who it is that you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show
[Verse 3]
Mama said to me, "Stave on"
No matter what they tell you girl, stave on
Everyone that seems alright
Has a soul that's hurting, deep inside
[Verse 4]
So baby, hold on to the things that you love
Show me who it is that you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show
[Verse 5]
Mama said to me, "Hold on"
You gotta be wise, hold on
Momentary dreams can be gold
Or water through your fingers you can't hold
[Verse 6]
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
[Verse 7]
Mama said to me, "Hold on"
You gotta be wise, hold on
Momentary dreams can be gold
Or water through your fingers you can't hold
[Verse 8]
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on (Hold on)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
[Verse 9]
Oh
