Hold on (feat. Stu Campbell)

Hold on When it's coming on so strong When everything goes wrong Just remember to hold on Remember to... Stop, now you ain't gon' believe me? Stories of my life that have left me bleeding? The times I lied and received a beating And promised myself I would not repeat it Looking somewhere for a hidden meaning Something to combat the bitter feelings The want to hurt me, I deserve to feel things And life would be easier without the breathing I get tired, say that I'm weak Let the physical define me Maybe mentally I find peace Talk about the strength in my mind, like it's life's key Now I'm lookin' at a live feed People that I know across the world, and it reminds me The callin' of the Father, maybe if I can be bothered, then I'll listen and I'll follow and for Him I'd sacrifice me Screaming insults at the mirror See my eyes, a no-emotion stare Check my mind, there's no emotions there And the God I find is just silent, I swear When He's silent I'm scared Worried that He, like myself, doesn't care Worried that somehow my actions impair A relationship without which I couldn't bear Hold on When it's coming on so strong When everything goes wrong Just remember to hold on Hold on When it's coming on so strong When everything goes wrong Just remember to hold on Whenever you... What? Now you gon' look at me differently? Just 'cause I told you what things that I think can be? Just 'cause you know that depression has grip on me? Just so you know, my mental ain't everything You might be the death of me Runs in the family, everyone here can see How did I get here, and how can I better me? Questions you ask, I answer in elite degree Excavate Cut it out, the bad blood, medicate Negativity and sad run in my veins Thinking maybe I'll begin to make Mental improvements I won't need to fake I don't need the hate Building up inside of me, it seethes away I don't see the way For God's leading in my life to ever be that great Hey I'm supposed to live by faith though Even when I doubt, which may be the case I'll Take control of my mental state I'm a spiritual being, I'm more than a gravestone Positivity can lay low But all of Hell, they know Depression is a powerful demon you can bow unto, but damn, he ain't got the last say-so Hold on When it's coming on so strong When everything goes wrong Just remember to hold on Remember to stop But sometimes it feels like all of this, it can be more than me I got God on my side, but it doesn't help much when I cry out and He's just ignoring me I thought that he Would back up my plan, and give me support when I fought to free My mind from this vice, but His timing's not mine It's perfect, and that's how it ought to be God Thank you for all the unanswered Prayers that were detrimental to your plans for Me and the best that I cannot imagine Give me discernment to know what to ask for (Give me discernment to know what to ask for) (Give me discernment to know what to ask for)
