Why should I keep keeping on
My time is creeping along
Mind won’t oblige

There were stars brighter than mine
Who gave up fighting it
Why shouldn’t I
Just let it die

Because
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn

Hold On
Hold On

Now and then I get so down
I feel so fortunate
To have you around

I need your love and your advice
When you say keep fighting it
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die

Because
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn

Hold On
Hold On

I will be strong I will be strong
I will be strong I will be strong
I will be strong I will be strong
It won’t be long

The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn
The darkest hour of the night came right before the dawn

Hold On
