Life Holds On

I was swingin' on the swings when I was a little girl Tryin' to get a handle on the big, wide world When I noticed all the grass in the cracks in the concrete I said, "Where there's a will, there's a way around anything" Life holds on Given the slightest chance For the week and the strong Life holds on There was a third grade boy that we knew in school He was found face down in a swimming pool And as they worked on that kid every minute was an hour And when his eyes fluttered open we could feel that power Life holds on Given the slightest chance For the week and the strong Life holds on, life holds on Life holds on Sirens screaming down my street Fading as they go Whining somewhere far away To someone I don't know Still, I say a little prayer There's always hope Life holds on Through the window in the kitchen I can see outside My kids takin' turns comin' down the slide I try not to worry as they grow a little every day No I've just got believe that they're gonna find their way And the life holds on Given the slightest chance For the week and the strong Life holds on, life holds on Life holds on, life holds on
