Song Description
I've taken peices of my own life and generalized them to apply to most. I lost my father and my brother was a bit of a Prodigal Son. Until recentlty, I never had a running vehicle. Sometimes situations can be so shallenging that we feel like we can't handle them. This is a song reminding people that they can!

Lyrics
12. Hold On***She goes to start her car * The engine cranks, but it doesn't come on * She bites her lip and hits the wheel, crazy how she feels * Everyday something new goes wrong * And she says, "How do I keep on keeping on?" * A mother watches her son, cuffed, with his orange suit on * He pinches his eyes closed as the tears fall down * He can't look at her for what he's done * And they say, "How do I keep on keeping on?" (2X) * When everything [nothing] seems like it's never going to change [it will ease the pain]* We start to think we can't survive living life this way * Even with our hands tied, we've got to move on * And sometimes with no hands, we've got to hold on * Daddy's little girl holds his hand tight, she knows it won't be long * She tries to memorize the soft look in his eyes, 'cause tomorrow he'll be gone * (Chorus)...
