Al Green - Hold on Forever lyrics

Hold on forever, hold on forever
'Til I can get everything in place
Well, hold on forever, hold on forever
'Til I can see my savior's face

I've got to smile on forever
Smile 'cause there's a million
For you to enjoy
Let's just smile, smile, smile
Well, this song is for every girl and boy

I've had good times, I've had bad times
I haven't had enough i have my ups and down
I've been turned around i haven't given up

Don't you know everybody have
To walk the line? I have had to do my time
It's a shame my song's for free
And everybody knows that's the way it goes
The Lord is watching over me

I think I really better hold on forever
Hold on forever
'Cause there's a smile I'd like to wear
I'll hold on forever, hold on forever
'Cause, 'cause there's some joy
I've got to share

That may keep on holding on

I keep holding on, I keep holding on
I keep on holding on, I keep seeing face
Nothing in the world can take this face
I, I, I keep holding, I'm holding
I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding
