TITLE: Life Holds On
Lyrics and Chords


I was swinging on the swings when I was a little girl
Trying to get a handle on the big, wide world
When I noticed all the grass in the cracks in the concrete
I said, "Where there's a will, there's a way around anything"

/ D - / Bm - / :

{Refrain}
Life holds on
Given the slightest chance
For the week and the strong
Life holds on

/ G A / D - / :

There was a third grade boy that we knew in school
He was found face down in a swimming pool
And as they worked on that kid every minute was an hour
And when his eyes fluttered open we could feel that power

{Refrain}
... Life holds on, life holds on

/ G A / D - / G A / Bm GA D - /

Sirens screaming down my street
Fading as they go
Whining somewhere far away
To someone I don't know
Still, I say a little prayer
There's always hope
Life holds on

/ C Bm / A G / : / G A / - / D - /

Through the window in the kitchen I can see outside
My kids taking turns coming down the slide
I try not to worry as they grow a little every day
I've just got believe they're gonna find their way

{Refrain}
