(Original by Big Star )



Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh

and I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds 

It gets so hard in times like now to hold on 

But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God 

And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round 

Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round 

There's people around who tell you that they know 

And places where they send you, and it's easy to go 

They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row 

But you know you don't have to, you can just say no 

I've been built up and trusted, broke down and busted 

But they'll get theirs and we will get ours if you can 

just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on 

Years ago my heart was set to live, oh 

but I've been trying hard against strong odds 

It gets so hard at times like now to hold on 

Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God
