You say you don't believe in sorrow
Then why are you so sad?
There's no need to fear tomorrow
It's never quite that bad

You have such heart, you're the precious one
And you will have your day
I know there is no justice now
There's nothing left to say

If you don't believe in the setting sun
If you've lost your faith in the holy one
If you're feeling like you need a friend
You can hold on
Yes you can hold on
Hold on to my hand
Don't let go

If you're with the one you care for
And you wake up in the middle of the night
If she's the one you hold a prayer for
You keep the candle bright

If her body's weak, but her heart is strong
If you feel the heat, as the day is long
If you're just a boy, trying to be a man
You can hold on
Yes you can hold on
Hold on to her hand
She will understand

I have no explanation
Why this train it just rolls along
Why it pulls into this particular station
And stays just a little too long
If I miss the train, as it pulls away
Cos' I drank too much, and slept into the day
If I run alongside, and reach out my arm
Will you hold on, yes will you hold on
Yes will you hold on
Hold on to my hand
Hold on to my hand
Hold on to my hand

If you don't believe in the holy one
If you've lost your faith in the setting sun
If you're feeling like you need a friend
You can hold on
Yes you can hold on
Hold on to my hand
Yeah
