Keep me past the gate
I've worn the world without a word
and I don't care too much for what they say
Grip my smothering end
another day will pass again
Keep my fire 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 got
so hang on to this
Keep me pacified
The light will never see my face
for this must be 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
if you hold on to truth
then 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
