Holdin’ On

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jazzie B] In my imagination running wild I feel the time has passed us by Stay in my mind all the time Just like the endless beat, the beat that flows in time The maze of life is so difficult I don't want the children to run and fight Respect is in the eyes of the beholder Who sees the fun that will come when the sun shines Together, living in unity There's no need to fight the rough society I know the time will be here again When the chances are thin and you know it will lead to the end [Chorus: Shikisha] Bambelela Bambe-lela (Hold on) Bambelela Bambe-lela (Hold on) [Verse 2: Jazzie B] I keep this dream in my memory In my mind for a long time, you see I hope the day will come sometime When I know the stories to be told We'll tell the story to the young and old Both children who grow together in school Oh, now I wish the time will come That the dream that I dream will last for a long time [Refrain: Shikisha] Pull me up, pull me up Pull me up, pull me up Pull me up, pull me up Pull me up, pull me up [Bridge: Jazzie B] Oh, I feel so magical And I feel the temptation running through my veins We'll live together in happiness And I know the time, the time will come to this As long as they're holding on Holding, holding, holding, holding, holding [Verse 3: Jazzie B] Well, imagine yourself in a large open space No communication and no one to race For you to be in this predicament in time We'll leave our imaginations open wide So before the floods the storms may raise There should be a bride today Well, on that day, we shall live together as one Happily under the sun [Outro: Shikisha] Bambelela Bambe-lela Bambelela Bambe-lela Bambelela Bambe-lela Bambelela Bambe-lela Bambelela Bambe-lela
