Keep me past the gates
I`ve worn the world without a word
and I don`t care too much for what they say
Rip my smothering end
another day will pass again
Keep my power alive for I`m not afraid
Can I make them understand
Who in the world would have thought this,
God I`ll never know your plans
Doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
`cause I`m doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
it`s `cause I`m doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I`ve got
so hang on to this
Keep me pacified
The light will never see my face
for this seems like a better place
Keep them entertained
I`ve lost the feel, I`ve lost the pain
For this seems to be a better place
Can I make them understand
Who in the world would have thought this,
God I`ll never know your plans
Doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
`cause I`m doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
it`s `cause I`m doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I got
so hang on to this
Maybe you`ll find what you seek, yeah
if you hold on to truth
yet your truth will set you free
Doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
Hanging on by a thread this is what I got
Doin` what I got to
what I got to hang on
hang onto this
hang onto this...
