Lyrics

I know it’s all you’ve got to (F#m)just be strong,

and it’s a fight just to (F#m)keep it to geth er, to geth er.

I know you think that you are (F#m)too far gone,

but hope is nev er (F#m)lost,

hope is nev er (A)lost.

Hold on,

don’t let go.

Hey,

hold on,

don’t let go.

Just take

one step

clos er,

put one foot in (A)front of the oth er.

You’ll get

through this.

Just fol low the (A)light in the (A)dark ness.

You’re gon na be o kay.

I know your heart is heav y (F#m)from those nights,

but just re mem ber that (F#m)you are a fight er, a fight er.

You nev er know just what to (F#m)mor row holds,

and you’re strong er than you (F#m)know,

you’re strong er than you (A)know.

Hold on,

don’t let go.

Hey,

hold on,

don’t let go.

Just take

one step

clos er,

put one foot in (A)front of the oth er.

You’ll get

through this.

Just fol low the (A)light in the (A)dark ness, one step

clos er,

put one foot in (A)front of the oth er.

You’ll get

through this.

Just fol low the (A)light in the (A)dark ness, (A)light in the dark ness.

You’re gon na be o kay.

And when the night is clos ing in, don’t give up and don’t give in.

This won’t last, it’s not the end, it’s not the end.

You’re gon na be o kay.

When the night is clos ing in, don’t give up and don’t give in.

This won’t last, it’s not the end, it’s not the end.

You’re gon na be o kay.
