There ain't no time,

No time for sorrow.

And we ain't got time no time

Ah time to be sad.

And maybe the world ain't what it could be

But to understand why is to know reality

Ah don't give in (hang on in there)

Ah I said hang on (hang on in there) How many times did you hear your mom and daddy?

Say oh child I never had it so good

I wanna say thank you, thank you for the start

Cause deep in my soul, I know you did all that you could

I'm just a part of your dreams this I know

But I'll do what ever possible to make this thing grow.

Ah don't give in (hang on in there)

I said hang on (hang on in there) Ah now say tomorrow you woke up a king

Now tell me just how would you fix everything?

You walk around complaining about how things are

But what have you added to this world so far

Check out your mind, and see what the answer is

And tell me how much did you give

Ah don't give in (hang on in there)

I said hang on (hang on in there) There are plenty of things still left to live for

A child, a friend, and a wife

They all want to share your life.

Ain't that enough to make you want hang on

Hang on, hang on (hang on in there) The sign said "America love it or leave" well has it really come to that?

And beside, I don't want to and you can't make me love I've got too many friends, that have she'd their blood,

I've got too many relatives here born on this land

So you can't make me leave

I say this is my county and you can't make me leave

You can't make me love the way you treat me

And you can't make me love the way you beat me. Hang on in there, I'm gonna hang on

No matter you do or what you say

Is just wanna let you know you can't drive me away I'm gonna ay hang

I'm not gonna throw up my hand

I'm not gonna throw up my hand Any you can't drive me from my home land

If the smog from the cars and so many live we have lost Still No matter what I'm gonna hang on
