Lyrics
Hold On (Ride the River)
It was just a quiet conversation
With wine and friends
Talking about love stories
That came to bitter ends
How’s a person supposed to stay sane
Hold out your heart and feel the pain
Build a link but not a chain
She said that love is like a river
Pray your streams stay together
And we will hold on (hold on)
And we won’t let go (we won’t let go)
And we will hold on (hold on)
And we will make it so
We hold on
There must be lessons to be learned
Fatal flaws to discern
We examine love’s beginnings
By seeing what’s been burned
How come it always starts so well
But later on we start to tell
Our love affairs go from kiss to hell
Welcome to the river
Pray your streams stay together
And we will hold on (hold on)
And we won’t let go (we won’t let go)
And we will hold on (hold on)
And we will make it so
We hold on
Make it so
Make it so
We hold on
