Hold On

Story Behind The Song

The song was originally writtern for an independent documentary about the life of Charlie Petrizzo. Charlie had 3 near death experiences before he was 17 but he held on and made something of himself. He was very accomplished in the financial world but he gave it up to create a non-profit organization that helps children with special needs but supplying them with trained dogs. Whether it's to guide the blind or calm the autistic the dogs save lives and so has Charlie Petrizzo.

Lyrics

Over and over you've been knocked down
you've put out, you've been beat up and hurt.

Just when the clouds start to clear up,
you get rained on and thrown in the dirt.

But Mother said not to give up.
So here you stand with a smile on.
You've got the courage of a soldier at war
when there's nothing left fighting for.

You hold on
you get back up
you breathe in and out when things get rough
you stand tall
follow your dreams
even though your bursting at the seams
What doesn't kill you makes you strong,
so hold on.

Time after time you've been misled.
You've been tested with no end in site.
You know in your heart there's a reason
you're still breathing so you embrace this life.

But Father said not to give up.
So here you stand with a smile on.
You've got the courage of a soldier at war
when there's nothing left fighting for.

You hold on
you get back up
you breathe in and out when things get rough
you stand tall
follow your dreams
even though your bursting at the seams
What doesn't kill you makes you strong,
so hold on.
