Intro: It's been a long time coming that I had to say When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray For some guidance and protection on the streets today And an answer to the questions I ask everyday So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here Tell me why do they come to die here? And all the kids that used to run here Tell me why do they load their guns here? I remember in the days when We were one heart, no need to defend I just wrap my arms around you Don't give up, this song is for you Hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I say hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I hold on, I'm trying to hold on I hold on, hold on, hold on From the tops of the buildings to the streets below Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes Between the lines of the people standing all in a row There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows Reminding me that everything is possible Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible You gotta live for the one that you love you know You gotta love for the life that you live you know Singing hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I'll sing hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I hold on, I'm trying to hold on I hold on, I'm trying to hold on Until the morning comes again I will remain with you my friend And we will ride until the sun Goes to the place where it begun And we will live to laugh and cry another day Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one Singing hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I say hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on Whoa, oh, oh, oh I'm just trying to hold on Trying to hold on Trying to hold on I say hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I say hey, hey, hey No matter how life is today There's just one thing that I got to say I won't let another moment slip away I hold on
