HANGING ON
for so many years
i’ve been hanging on by fingertips
holding on tightly
but slowly loosing grip
it’s been so lonely hanging
been reaching for a hand
looking but not finding
an open set of arms to land
for so many years
i’ve been hanging by a thread
blowing in the breeze
like the cobwebs in my head
so hard to be here alone
but i hang on still
i may have lost a lot
but i still have my will
for so many years
i’ve been trying to stay afloat
desperately treading water
waiting for a lifeboat
i hold on to the hope that
before my will is gone
someone will rescue me
until then i’ll keep hanging on
i’ve been hanging on by fingertips
holding on tightly
but slowly loosing grip
it’s been so lonely hanging
been reaching for a hand
looking but not finding
an open set of arms to land
for so many years
i’ve been hanging by a thread
blowing in the breeze
like the cobwebs in my head
so hard to be here alone
but i hang on still
i may have lost a lot
but i still have my will
for so many years
i’ve been trying to stay afloat
desperately treading water
waiting for a lifeboat
i hold on to the hope that
before my will is gone
someone will rescue me
until then i’ll keep hanging on
