the strangle hold of society
was bringing me down, but i broke free
i'm never going back to the way i was
i've found the truth i was looking for

holding out for a better deal
i've seen the Truth, i know it's real
holding out for a better day
a new tomorrow, a better way

i will not conform to the pattern of this world
instead i will be transformed by the renewing of my mind and spirit
my strength come from God
who gives me power to bear it

I'M HOLDING OUT
