Aretha Franklin - Holdin’ On

Tekst piosenki:

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on)
(Holdin’ on to something true, to what feels good to you)
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong)
(Don’t let it get away from you, do whatcha gotta do)

I know it gets hard sometimes
To find a little piece of mind
Gotta stay focused, gotta stay strong
To all my people, hold on
To what you feel inside
I know it hurts but don’t cry
Life is gonna go on
With or without you, hold on

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) Holdin’ on
(Holdin’ on to something true) Oh, yeah
(To what feels good to you) Oh
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) Gotta be strong
(Don’t let it get away from you) Don’t let it get away from you
(Do whatcha gotta do) Do whatcha gotta do now

Taking care of home and family (family)
It’s sometimes hard to own your sanity (sanity)
Thinking what about my fantasy
Will my dreams come true?
If I stay emotionless
Release myself from all the stress
Don’t blame it all on you
To myself, I’ll be true

We trade in our stability
For all types of insecurities
Now tell me what’s to become of me
If I let myself stress
Every time life throws me a test

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) Oh, yeah
(Holdin’ on to something true) Something true
(To what feels good to you) To what feels good to you
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) Gotta be strong, oh yeah
(Don’t let it get away from you) Don’t let it get away from you
(Do whatcha gotta do) Do whatcha gotta do now

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) Oh, my brother
(Holdin’ on to something true) Hold on now
(To what feels good to you) Oh, oh, oh, what feels good
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) Ooh, oh, yeah
(Don’t let it get away from you) Don’t let it get away from you
(Do whatcha gotta do) Do whatcha gotta do now

We trade in our stability (yes we did)
For all types of insecurities
Tell me what, what, what become of me (me)
If I let myself stress (don’t let, don’t)
Every time life throws me a test

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
(Holdin’ on to something true) I’m gonna get smart
(To what feels good to you) Oh, yes we do
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) You gotta be strong
(Don’t let it get away from you) Don’t let it get away from you
(Do whatcha gotta do) Do whatcha gotta do

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) I’m stepping and sliding
(Holdin’ on to something true) Sometimes I’m higher
(To what feels good to you) To what feels good to you
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) You gotta be stronger, oh yeah
(Don’t let it get away from you) Don’t let it get away from you
(Do whatcha gotta do) Do whatcha, do watcha gotta do, yeah now

You got a faith in the higher power, oh yeah
In that almighty power, love Jesus
(Do whatcha gotta do) Jesus

(Holdin’ on, holdin’ on, holdin’ on) Oh, yes He is, He is rainbow
(Holdin’ on to something true) Hold on, hold on my brother
(To what feels good to you) To what, to what, to what, to what
(Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong) Gotta be strong
