Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once we had a land and we thought it fair Look in the atlas and you would find it there Sleeping at night wrapped up in our beds Safe from the world so we wouldn't be scared Maybe we were let off too light in the past Teachers gave us medals for coming last But ain't it funny how the bottom kids in class Always seem to be the ones who have the last laugh [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause we didn't give up, no, we didn't give up We didn't give up, no no no We didn't give up, no, we didn't give up No no no [Verse 2] So we grew our hair and sharpened our claws And soon we saw the writing on the wall Marched in our thousands against a war Nobody could give us a straight answer for Lennon taught us to feel and Guevara to fight Marley said everything's gonna be alright But we couldn't look our parents in the eye Everybody choosing different sides [Chorus] Hold on to what's inside Onto a feeling that you can't deny Somewhere in your eyes There is a spirit that will never die You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try Onto a feeling that you can't deny Hold on, yeah you gotta fight And take it with you till the day you die [Verse 3] Twenty years of education and still No one taught us how to love ourselves until We danced in the corner of an English field Then in the morning all of our fates were sealed Try to fix our broken hearts with drugs To repair the feeling of never being enough But how the hell were we to know what the damage does Losing yourself to someone you love too much [Chorus] Hold on to what's inside Onto a feeling that you can't deny Somewhere in your eyes There is a spirit that will never die Hold on, yeah you gotta try Onto a feeling that you can't deny Hold on, yeah you gotta fight And keep it with you through the lonely nights [Bridge] Staring at the ceiling Or climbing up the walls Try to find the meaning The meaning of it all When that old familiar feeling Keeps coming 'round to call It goes on and on and on and on On and on and on and on We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up We'll never give up, no no no We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up We'll never give up, no no no No no no No no no no no No no no No no no no no no [Chorus] Hold on to what's inside Onto a feeling that you can't deny Somewhere in your eyes There is a spirit that will never die You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try Onto a feeling that you can't deny So hold on, yeah you gotta fight And take it with you to the other side [Outro] (You gotta hold on) Take it with you to the other side Take it with you to the other side (You gotta hold on) Take it with you to the other side Take it with you to the other side (You gotta hold on) Take it with you to the other side Take it with you to the other side
