The gold verandah in the dark has gone
down to the metal man.
Now that it's time to leave the ground
And maybe try to understand.

You got to hold on to something that you believe,
Hold on to something that makes you feel alright.

Into the darkest times of your life
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder
If you ever knew what was goin' on.

You got to hold on to something that you believe,
Hold on to something that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

(background) Alright ... alright ... alright

It's no use thinkin' 'bout what you ain't got,
Just makes you bitter.
And as you speak, everything that you said
Goes out on the big transmitter.

You got to hold on to something that you believe,
Hold on to something that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

You got to hold on to something that you believe,
Hold on to something that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
