Analysis of Holding on
Hold on to your every dream
It may seem gone
But if you believe
That it's still there
The day will come
It will be near
Nearer than you think
Closer than it looks
But just remember
The pages in the book.
Can only be read
By the one you overtook
Be careful of the things
That's often overlooked
