Intro

Verse 1

Someone cries and it washes the street with tears

But when they are mine, they collect in my head for years

Rain or shine, still I'm standing on all I said

'Cause it's in my soul, carry on when the feeling's dead

Chorus

But if you can't hold on

Let it go and come back in your heart

And if you can't hold on

Maybe it's not time for you

And if you can't hold on

On your very last try

Verse 2

I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

Someone dies late at night and I never know

And even if I did, so afraid of the face I'd show

I feel trapped and enslaved to this dark contrast

Need a feeling now, give me something that's going to last

Chorus

Bridge

I want to be free

I want to be free

I want to be free

Yes, I want to be free

I want to be free

Yes, I want to be free

Oh, I want to be free

Yes, I want to be free

You say you want to be free

But you can't fool me

You say you want to be free

Oh, but you can't fool me

You say you want to be free

But you can't fool me

You say you want to be free

Oh, but you can't fool me

Oh, and if you can't hold on

Ohhhhh, ohhhh

You can't hold on (Can't hold on)

You can't hold on (Can't hold on)

I'll be there, I'll be there

Chorus

(alternate last line)

I’ll be there so you know you’re not alone.
