hold on

i was never a fan of country music, even when taylor swift made it big with her hit songs such as love story, white horse and teardrops on my guitar. it's a bit too odd for my taste and yet i found myself falling in love with this genre of music when i first listened to this particular song called hold on by kareem salama few months ago.

i would like to dedicate this post to my dearest mother again!, who is in dire need of her favorite daughter to be home as soon as possible. :P

The teardrops fall from his eyes at night
Too much a man to be crying in plain sight
Finds himself at the beginning again
Can't understand why he can't break this sin

I don't know who said that it was easy
To conquer the world that exists inside of me
My lights are dim and the roads are dark
But the night's always darkest just before dawn

So hold on in this moment 'cause it might be just what you need
And you know that you're growing when you find yourself down on your knees
It's the trials of life, it's the rain and the light that make you more than just your dreams

She's like a boat that's caught in the storm
Sees the sun through the clouds but she can't stay warm
Now she's in pain and she can't bear the load
But she don't know there's something better down the road

Everything life is born then it dies
After the storms the rooted plants do rise
So let pain die and plant yourself deep
'Till this whole wide world falls down at your feet

So hold on in this moment 'cause it might be just what you need
And you know that you're growing when you find yourself down on your knees
It's the trials of life, it's the rain and the light that make you more than just your dreams

You say that you want to fly in the sky, but you won't build the wings; it won't be
Then, you say that you want the love of your life, but you give up too easily
It's the eyes wide as you fall that make you see

So hold on in this moment 'cause it might be just what you need
And you know that you're growing when you find yourself down on your knees
It's the trials of life, it's the rain and the light that make you more than just your dreams

i know you're strong enough to get over this phase so please keep holding on. i'll see you near the finishing line and then we'll cross that ribbon together, alright? love you always, mom! :)
