Livin' on a Prayer
Holding on to Love's Resilience
Lyrics
Once upon a time not so long ago
Introducing a past time not too distant
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
Tommy used to work on the docks; union is on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Tommy is facing difficulties and is down on his luck
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
Gina works at a diner all day for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
Gina brings home her pay for the sake of love
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
Gina emphasizes the need to hold on to what they have
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
It doesn't matter if they succeed or fail, they have each other
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
They have each other, which is significant for love
We'll give it a shot
They are willing to give their situation a try
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their challenges
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer, facing challenges with hope
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Encouraging each other to persevere, promising to make it
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Tommy has pawned his guitar
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
Tommy no longer expresses himself through music
So tough, it's tough
Reiterating the toughness of their situation
Gina dreams of running away
Gina dreams of escaping their difficulties
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Tommy reassures Gina during her moments of despair
Baby, it's okay, someday
Despite challenges, there's hope for a better future
We've got to hold on to what we've got
Emphasizing the need to hold on to what they have
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
Success or failure doesn't matter as long as they have each other
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
They have each other, which is significant for love
We'll give it a shot
Willing to give their situation a try despite challenges
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their challenges
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Encouraging each other to persevere, promising to make it
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Living on a prayer
Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
Emphasizing the need to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Encouragement to keep fighting when it's all they've got
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their challenges
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Encouraging each other to persevere, promising to make it
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their challenges
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Encouraging each other to persevere, promising to make it
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
They are halfway through their challenges
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Encouraging each other to persevere, promising to make it
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Reiterating the challenges of living on a prayer
