Lyric

The day can bruise like a storm on skin

Still, you get up and you try again

You wear your ache like a hidden crown

And keep your feet when the world leans down

A little kindness can split the gray

A borrowed smile can move the weight

We learn to bend, we learn to stay

We learn to bloom in a guarded way

So hold that spark in your hands tonight

Let it draw a line through the fading light

From the young to the worn, from the lost to the wise

We rise, we rise, we rise

Hold on, hold on

We rise again

Hold on, hold on

Through the wind and rain

Hold on, hold on

Love makes us brave

Hold on, hold on

We light the way

At work, the hours can sharpen teeth

So count your steps and protect your peace

Don’t give your whole sky to every shadow

Some doors close slow, some answers don’t follow

But there’s gold in the steady, the patient hand

In the quiet nod, in the honest stand

You build a bridge with the words you choose

And keep your heart from the fires that bruise

So hold that spark in your hands tonight

Let it draw a line through the fading light

From the young to the worn, from the lost to the wise

We rise, we rise, we rise

Hold on, hold on

We rise again

Hold on, hold on

Through the wind and rain

Hold on, hold on

Love makes us brave

Hold on, hold on

We light the way

And if the evening folds you in

If your brave face starts to thin

Hear the choir inside your chest

Saying, “You’ve still got breath, you’ve still got yes”

No one climbs by carrying stone alone

No one comes out made of moon and bone

We heal in circles, we learn in threads

We pass the flame from the living to the rest

Hold on, hold on

We rise again

Hold on, hold on

Through the wind and rain

Hold on, hold on

Love makes us brave

Hold on, hold on

We light the way

Hold on, hold on

No one is left

Hold on, hold on

We give our best

Hold on, hold on

For all we’ve made

Hold on, hold on

We light the way
