Keep me past the gates
I've worn the world without a word
And I don't care too much for what they say
Rip my smothering end
Another day will pass again
Keep my power alive for I'm not afraid
Can I make them understand
Who in the world would have thought this,
God I'll never know your plans
Doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
'Cause I'm doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
It's 'cause I'm doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I've got
So hang on to this
Keep me pacified
The light will never see my face
For this seems like a better place
Keep them entertained
I've lost the feel, I've lost the pain
For this seems to be a better place
Can I make them understand
Who in the world would have thought this,
God I'll never know your plans
Doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
'Cause I'm doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
It's 'cause I'm doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I got
So hang on to this
Maybe you'll find what you seek, yeah
If you hold on to truth
Yet your truth will set you free
Doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I got
Doin' what I got to
What I got to hang on
Hang onto this
Hang onto this...
