Hold On

Liner Notes

This song started with reflecting on how it's been a year since Putin started his illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, but I haven't been in a war. I don't know how to write about it and it's not my place to speak either to or for someone who is so I tried to make it a bit more general. The tyrant could be anyone and the people resisting it could be anyone and I had a few possibilities in mind when I put this together.

Lyrics

The tyrant doesn't knock
He breaks into your mind
Massages your amygdala
Infects it with his lies

He tells you you are weak
He wants you to believe
But he doesn't know himself
The things you can achieve

You gotta hold on
Never lose your grip
Keep the goal in mind and your hopes in line
And the day is yours

You gotta hold on
Never compromise
It will take just as long as it takes and then
You will prevail

The pushback has begun
And he will be excised
He will die alone
Deserted and despised

While you live forever
On the right side of history
As the victors over hate
Glorious and free

You gotta hold on
Never lose your grip
Keep the goal in mind and your hopes in line
And the day is yours

You gotta hold on
Never compromise
It will take just as long as it takes and then
You will prevail

You gotta hold on
Never lose your grip
Keep the goal in mind and your hopes in line
And the day is yours

You gotta hold on
Never compromise
It will take just as long as it takes and then
You will prevail
