Hold On

I stand upon the water's edge
Between the darkness and the light
I see the lost souls drifting far
Like fading embers in the night
They call to me across the waves
They're searching for the way back home
Without my beacon burning bright
They'd wander endlessly alone

Hold on, hold on, I'm here to guide you
Hold on, hold on, I stand beside you
Through the darkness and the cold
Follow my light, let me unfold
The path that leads you safely home
Hold on, you're not alone

The darkness tries to dim my flame
It whispers that I should let go
But every soul that's lost out there
Needs me to help them find the shore
My light grows weak but I stand tall
I will not let the shadows win
For I'm the bridge between two worlds
The guide who brings the wanderers in

Hold on, hold on, I'm shining for you
Hold on, hold on, I'm calling to you
Through the storm and through the night
I am your everlasting light
The beacon that will lead you through
Hold on, I believe in you

Some nights the ocean feels too wide
The souls too many, I'm too small
But then I see one light return
And know it's worth it after all
For every soul I help across
For every spirit that I save
Is why I hold this sacred post
Between the living and the grave

I see you all out there tonight
I'm burning brighter with my light
The darkness cannot take me down
I am the guide, I wear the crown
Of hope and faith that never dies
I'll shine forever in the skies
So follow me, don't be afraid
I am the path that's being made

Hold on, hold on, you've almost made it
Hold on, hold on, your hope's not faded
Through the darkness you have come
Now the journey's nearly done
I'll guide you to the other side
Hold on, let me be your guide

The dawn breaks soft across the sea
Another night of souls brought home
But I remain here standing watch
For those who still are yet to roam
I am the light that never fails
The guide through darkness and through fear
And when the lost are calling out
They'll find me waiting, always here
So hold on through the darkest night
Hold on until you see the light
Hold on, for I will always be
The beacon shining endlessly
