Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Hold on . Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today . The sun will melt away The sky so dark decay And summer, spring, and autumn, winter Melt into a single moment Whored into the past Like a stream run dry at last Hold on, hold on . There's got to be a future To create and to defend So the world can never end Hold on . Things can't be quite so bad That all we have and all we had Never worry won't return Lost in a fire that cannot burn Hold on, hold on . Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today . Look around, look around The rain is falling from the sky Planes taking off to fly Swooping birds and barking dogs Shopping malls and catalogues . Traffic stopped on busy streets Lovers lying between the sheets . Business models, computer freaks Modern artists, new techniques Money comes and money goes Children cry and still suppose There's got to be a future . Hold on, hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Hold on .
