An inspirational song about a singer/songwriter
Lyrics
Holdin' On S. Domer c2020
On weekend nights at a bar in town
He sings his songs to the local crowd
For all the tips that he can make
Hoping for his big break
He's holdin' on
He's had this dream since he's a boy
An old guitar would fill the void
And he practiced all day long
Wore his fingers to the bone,
He's holdin' on
Faith, hope, and dreams can keep you going on
When the ups and downs of life, get you down
And when it seems, everything is going wrong
Don't give up, keep holdin' on
He wrote this song, he thought was good
Sent it off to get it heard
They said Thank you for the tune
But well get back to you
He's holdin' on
Took a day job down in Tennessee
Busing tables from six to three
And working all day long
So at night he could sing his song
He's holdin' on
Faith, hope, and dreams can keep you going on
When the ups and downs of life, get you down
And when it seems, everything is going wrong
Don't give up, keep holdin' on
One Friday night, it was kind of late
A man came up said I've heard you play
And I'd love to record your song
I think you call it, Holdin' On
Faith, hope, and dreams can keep you going on
When the ups and downs of life, get you down
And when it seems, everything is going wrong
Don't give up, keep holdin' on
Don't give up, keep holdin' on
Don't give up, keep holdin' on
