Heard the calling, got the hell out
Now I’m tired of treading water
I’ve been dead set on these big dreams
and I’m plotting all my surefire schemes

you tell me, “you’re far too old
to stand on a glass earth throwing stones
put all of your faith in hope”
I’ve drained my soul to keep me just

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…

I’ve been falling through the dream mine
And I’m hoping at the bottom
All the mountains of coins I’ve thrown
Have bought the wish I cast them for

And it won’t be a reap-less sow
Don’t tell me, “this garden won’t grow hope,
you’ll bear only rose-less thorns”
enough’s been born to keep me just

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…

Don’t fail me you’re all I know
Don’t leave me desperate and alone
When all other light is gone
A single spark is all I need

To keep whole the earth below
To dig down for life beneath the snow
To carry, to carry on, to carry on,
to keep me just…

Hanging on, to keep me hanging on
To keep me just…
