The gold verandah in the dark has gone 

down to the metal man.

No better time to leave the ground

And maybe try to understand.



You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,

Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright.



And through the darkest times of your life

You always tried to be the one,

And now the times have made you wonder

If you ever knew what was goin' on.



You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,

Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.



(background) Alright ... alright ... alright



No use thinkin' about what you ain't got,

Just makes you bitter.

And as you speak, everything that you say

Goes out on the big transmitter.



You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,

Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.



You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,

Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.



Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
