[Verse 1]
Mama said to me
Hold on
You gotta be wise
Hold on
Your momentary dreams
Can be gone
Water through your fingers you can't hold

[Chorus]
Baby hold on to the things that you love
Show me who it is you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show

[Verse 2]
Mama said to me
Stave on
No matter what they tell you girl
Stave on
Everyone that seems alright
Has a soul that’s hurting deep inside

[Chorus]
So baby hold on to the things that you love
Show me who it is you are
Never let that feeling go
Let it show
[Verse 3]
Mama said to me
Hold on
You gotta be wise
Hold on
Your momentary dreams
Can be gone
Water through your fingers you can't hold
So hold on

[Bridge]
Hold on (x7)

[Verse 4]
Mama said to me
Hold on
You gotta be wise
Hold on
Your momentary dreams
Can be gone
Water through your fingers you can't hold
So hold on

[Outro]
Hold on (x15)
