Hold the Line by Jordy Long Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a new day, it's a hard day
Used to dream I'd make it out on Broadway
But in these times is it okay
To have a dream if you're awake?
Got a good job but I need three
No, this ain't your granddaddy's economy
Save a few bucks if you're lucky
So what the hell are we supposed to do?
[Pre-Chorus]
But to turn my back would be a crime
When the world takes my peace of mind
[Chorus]
I just feel like there's something more
I know it's worth fighting for
So hit me, kick me, knock me down
But I'll keep running 'till my clock runs out
I just feel like we could use a change
I know we can't stay the same
I may be crazy, losing my mind
But while the world keeps burning I'll hold the line
[Verse 2]
Always bad news on my radar
Tell me, why do these kids need Kevlar?
If you ask me we've gone too far
And it's almost too much to hold
I got big dreams but a lot of debt
I was told a degree would be a safe bet
Start a family, hold on not yet
You got a long, long way to go
[Pre-Chorus]
But to turn my back would be a crime
When the world takes my peace of mind
[Chorus]
I just feel like there's something more
I know it's worth fighting for
So hit me, kick me, knock me down
But I'll keep running 'till my clock runs out
I just feel like we could use a change
I know we can't stay the same
I may be crazy, losing my mind
But while the world keeps burning I'll hold the line
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
It's a new day, it's a hard day
Used to dream I'd make it out on Broadway
But in these times is it okay
To have a dream when you're awake?
A dream when you're awake
Whoa, a dream when you're awake
Yeah
[Chorus]
I just feel like there's something more
I know it's worth fighting for
So hit me, kick me, knock me down
But I'll keep running 'till my clock runs out
I just feel like we could use a change
I know we can't stay the same
I may be crazy, losing my mind
But while the world keeps burning I'll hold the line
It's a new day, it's a hard day
Used to dream I'd make it out on Broadway
But in these times is it okay
To have a dream if you're awake?
Got a good job but I need three
No, this ain't your granddaddy's economy
Save a few bucks if you're lucky
So what the hell are we supposed to do?
[Pre-Chorus]
But to turn my back would be a crime
When the world takes my peace of mind
[Chorus]
I just feel like there's something more
I know it's worth fighting for
So hit me, kick me, knock me down
But I'll keep running 'till my clock runs out
I just feel like we could use a change
I know we can't stay the same
I may be crazy, losing my mind
But while the world keeps burning I'll hold the line
