Just our own burdens to carry, and its already too much to bare. The burdens of this evil world to carry, certainly a task no one would bring upon himself. Yet he held on..with all he had in him. Cos he knew he had to.
V1
Can't take this weight, the world is getting me down;
Im on the edge of breaking down
Daggers fly from end to end;
Piercing where it hurts most
I think I have the right, the right to complain;
Of all these wrongs that I face
Just so unfair, all the despair;
Too much for me
But then, I remember
The price you paid
This pain I carry
Is just a fraction of the pain that you had to take away
Chorus
You held on, cos my life depended on it
You endured, Cos all my hope was in your hands
Even when, the pain was all that you could bare
You held on, held on to the very end
v2
How heavy was it? The weight of the world;
On the shoulders of a man
Pressed down with force
With our fallen hands
I can barely go on, I can barely keep it up;
This burden on my back
I just keep falling, falling down again
Waiting for you to save me
Then I remember
The price you paid
This weight I carry
Is just a fraction of the chains you had to take away
Chorus
You held on, cos my life depended on it
You endured, Cos all my hope was in your hands
Even when, the pain was all that you could bare
You held on, held on to the very end
You held on, just for the chance I might return
You stayed strong, cos you could not bare to watch me burn
You held on, cos I would not know what eternity could be
If you had not held on
