Analysis of Hold On
One foot in a dying world
One foot in a birthing world
Hold on the best you can
And if you can, dance
We wave good by to that which
Already 'once was'
Moving from rock cliff to rock cliff
A Zeitgeist at our finger tips
Hold on the best you can
And if you can, dance
Like when we were kids
And intentionally slid on ice
Humanity at it's best, is you
Being kind to yourself and others
Following intuitions voice
Breathing with every cell
It will all be turning
From black and white to
Shades of grey
Then vibrant sunlit hues
Just hold on, be the best you
Dance in those old shoes
Available for the call and more than
Ready for the ball
