CHORUS 1 | Hold On – Be Strong
Always gonna be hard times
The kind you can’t explain
But there’s gonna be a flip-side
Like laughter in the rain
Just let the music save you
Let your melody come through
Hold on to yourself
Let your true colors shine
VERSE 1 | Hard Times – Accepting Where I Am
Oh the Dark Days
Full of Sadness and Tears
So far away from home
Not knowing where to turn
Everything so strange and new
All these voices talking to me
And my own voice not coming through
PRE-CHORUS | Somebody Else Gets It – Understands Me
Then I hear her sing my truth
Taylor says “You Can’t Take me down
With just one single blow”
I’m not going down even that way
CHORUS 2 | Hold On – Be Strong
Always gonna be hard times…
VERSE 2 | Focus on the Good Times & Good People to Get You Through
Remember the Good Times
Filled with friendship & song
When it’s hard to be strong
When everything’s so uncertain
So strange and so new
Listen for that one voice
To sing you through
PRE-CHORUS | It’s My Turn to Sing
Go on and sing your truth
Like Taylor says
“You Can’t Take me down
With just one single blow”
I’m not going down that way
BRIDGE | How Our True Colors are Revealed
Always gonna be hard times
I’ve been through the struggle
The kind you can’t explain
Won’t let it hold me back – no
There’s gonna be a flip-side
Got to let it go
Like laughter in the rain
Like laughter in the rain
Like laughter in the rain
Like laughter in the rain
ENDING | The Music, The Melody, The Truth – Let it Shine
Just let the music save you
Let your melody come through
Hold on to yourself
Let your true colors shine
