Lyrics:

“We’re Gonna Hold On”

We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on to each other

Life can be rough, sometimes it’s kind
A real good life is hard to find
But the best love is the one we’ve known
And the faith we have between us makes it grow

Some love lives and some love don’t
We’ve got the kind of love we want
It brings us happiness all through the day
And nothin’ can ever make it go away

We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on to each other

Time will tell if you’re right or wrong
We know we’re right by holdin’ on
And the future is set for you and me
Filled with love the way we both want it to be

We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold on to each other

We’re gonna hold on
We’re gonna hold (we’re gonna) on
We’re gonna hold…
