«Hard holding on»

Tekst: Tom Pacheco Musikk: Tom Pacheco

I got a hard road ahead
and a furious wind
A destination I dread wherever that is
I got a pain in my heart
like a wound from barb wire
That will leave a long scar
like the tracks of a tire

And it’s hard holding on
when your whole world is gone
And it’s hard holding on
to a dream after dawn

There’s a new dandelion
pushing up through the snow
So brave and divine
with a truth I should know
The worst of all winters
must yield to the spring
All fractures and splinters
will teach us something

Though it’s hard holding on
when your whole world is gone
Though it’s hard holding on
to a dream after dawn
that’s when new dreams are born

I see in the distance a horse running free
his shining existence a beacon for me
His spirit so true so wild and alive
That’s all we can do, we go on and survive

Though it’s hard holding on
when your whole world is gone
Though it’s hard holding on
to a dream after dawn
that’s when new dreams are born
