DIVIDING LINE
Verse 1
Old man out on the street
Ain't got a thing but the soles on his feet
Old man got nothin' but time
so hang on for those dividing lines
Scared woman with the bruise on her face
can't seem to find a safe place
in a corner, kids at her side
she needs to find that dividing line
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on,
Hold on for that dividing line
Hold on, Hold on,
Turn your life into black and white
Hold on, Hold on
Clear your mind and step right over that line
Verse 2
Young man all restless and bored
wants the things that he can't afford
young man just give it some time
maybe some day you'll buy dividing lines
Young girl look in the mirror
daddy's thinking he's got something to fear
young girl you're looking so fine
you're getting close to dividing lines
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on,
Hold on for that dividing line
Hold on, Hold on,
Turn your life into black and white
Hold on, Hold on
Clear your mind and step right over that line
Verse 3
Some days feet turn to miles
you can't find a seat, you stand for awhile
shoes too small and they don't shine
your feeling ready for dividing lines
Now some days your miles turn to feet
and you find that comfortable seat
your head up, you know there's still time
you swear you see that dividing line
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on,
Hold on for that dividing line
Hold on, Hold on,
Turn your life into black and white
Hold on, Hold on
Clear your mind and step right over that line
