Hold On

Lyricist: KT Tunstall     Composer: KT Tunstall

Say you to me
You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searching the land for a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know that just isn't so

Oh underneath
I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearing me apart right from the very start
And now I see
That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong, so long, you'll see

Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on 'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not

Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely, becoming part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and thousand faces
One light burning fiercely

I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I felt a change a-comin'
I felt a change a-comin'
Felt a change a-comin', soon

Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on 'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not

Hold on to what you've been given lately
Hold on to what you know you've got
Hold on to what you've been given lately
'Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not

Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you're ready or not
