Green Day - Hold On lyrics

As I step to the edge on
The shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
'Til I reach the break of day
When the sun beats down on the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear, the will to persevere
As I reach the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
Got to hold on, hold on to yourself

A cry of hope, a plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want
For it's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge on the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold to the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
Gotta hold on, hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
Gotta hold on, gotta hold on
Hold on, hold on to yourself
