Hold on
"Hold On" is a single by the progressive rock band Kansas. It was the band's 13th single, eighth top 100 hit, and fifth top 40 hit, peaking at number 40. The song was first released on the 1980 album Audio-Visions, which was the last album recorded with the original band before Steve Walsh left. The song was written by Kerry Livgren to try to convince his wife to convert to Christianity along with him, which proved successful and the couple have remained active in their faith ever since. It was further re-released on several compilation and live albums, including The Best of Kansas, The Kansas Boxed Set, The Ultimate Kansas, Sail On: The 30th Anniversary Collection, Live at the Whisky, and the CD/DVD combos of Device, Voice, Drum, Works in Progress, and There's Know Place Like Home. An orchestral version of the song appears on the album Always Never the Same, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be
Innocence dyin` in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze
(Chorus)
Hold on, Baby Hold on
`Cause it`s closer than you think
And you`re standing on the brink
Hold on, Baby Hold on
`Cause there`s something on the way
Your tomorrow`s not the same as today
Don`t you recall what you felt
When you weren`t alone
Someone who stood by your side
A face you have known
Where do you run when it`s too much to bear
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody`s there
(Chorus)
Outside your door He is waiting
Waiting for you
Sooner or later you know
He`s got to get through
No hesitation and no holding back
Let it all go and you`ll know
You`re on the right track
(Chorus)
