 One more son?

 If you can hold on,

I want to stand up, I want to let go

 You know you know - no, you don't, you don't.

 I want to shine on in the hearts of men.

I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.

Another head aches, another heart breaks.

 And my affection, well it comes and goes.

I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out, yeah

You know you gotta help me out, yeah

 Oh don't you put me on the back burner,

 You know you gotta help me out, yeah.

And when there's nowhere else to run

 You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah

You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah

 Oh don't you put me on the back burner,

Over and in, last call for sin.

 While everyone's lost, the battle is won

 With all these things that I've done.

 With all these things that I've done.

 If you can hold on, if you can hold on...
