Hold On
Embracing Hope: A Journey Through the Night of Longing
Lyrics
Hold on
Encouragement to persevere or endure.
Somewhere, a lonely girl lies weeping,
Describing a lonely girl who is in distress, possibly crying.
A lonely man tries sleeping,
Depicting a lonely man attempting to sleep but facing difficulties.
But he's getting nowhere
Expressing the man's lack of progress or improvement.
Sometime, it may be close to morning,
Suggesting it might be close to morning, introducing a glimmer of hope.
She thought she heard him calling,
The girl perceives a call, but it turns out to be imaginary or from no one.
But there's nobody there
Highlighting the absence of a response or presence.
And somehow, somehow, he knows he's got to try to
The man feels an inner compulsion to keep trying.
Hold on, somewhere she's crying for him,
Reiterating the encouragement to persevere despite the girl's sorrow.
Hold on, someday her smile will call him.
Anticipating a future where the girl's smile will bring comfort.
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for him.
Acknowledging external support or effort for the man.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere
Emphasizing the inevitability of finding solace at some point.
Somewhere, again she sleeps alone,
Revisiting the theme of the girl being alone during sleep.
He is reaching for the phone,
The man reaches for communication but faces disappointment.
But he's calling no-one
Highlighting the futility of the man's attempts to connect.
Oh sometime, she's dreaming of her lover,
Describing the girl's dreams of her lover, suggesting a sense of loss.
It really can't be over,
Denying the finality of the situation, implying a new beginning.
We've only just begun
Indicating an early stage in the relationship with more to come.
And somehow, somehow, I know I've go to try to
The narrator recognizes the need to endure and persist.
Hold on, somewhere she's crying for me,
The focus shifts to the narrator, acknowledging someone crying for them.
Hold on, someday her smile will call me,
Envisioning a future where the narrator is comforted by the girl's smile.
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for me.
External support or effort is directed towards the narrator.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere, hold on, hold on,
Reiteration of the theme and the universal aspect of holding on.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere.
Final emphasis on enduring and finding solace at some point in time.
