Lyrics
Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be?
Innocence dying in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze
Hold on, baby, hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby, hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today
Don't you recall what you felt
When you weren't alone?
Someone who stood by your side
A face you have known
Where do you run when it's too much to bear?
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody's there?
Hold on, baby, hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, baby, hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today
Outside your door he is waiting
Waiting for you
Sooner or later you know
He's got to come through
No hesitation and no holding back
Let it all go and you'll know
You're on the right track
(Hold on, baby, hold on)
Hold on to me, baby
('Cause it's closer than you think)
(And you're standing on the brink)
(Hold on, baby, hold on)
Yeah, I need you by my side
('Cause there's something on the way)
(Your tomorrow's not the same)
(Hold on, baby, hold on)
I've got to touch you, baby
('Cause it's closer than you think)
(And you're standing on the brink)
(Hold on, baby, hold on)
There's something 'round the corner
('Cause there's something on the way)
Your tomorrow's not the same
Hold on
