Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Holdin' On

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Holdin' on to something true

To what feels good to you

Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Don't let it get away from you

Do whatcha gotta do

I know it gets hard sometimes

To find a little piece of mind

Gotta stay focused, gotta stay strong

To all my people, hold on

To what you have inside

I know it hurts but don't cry

Life is gonna go on

With or without you, hold on

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Holdin' on to something true

To what feels good to you

Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Don't let it get away from you

Do whatcha gotta do

Taking care of home and family

Sometimes it's hard to keep your sanity

Thinkin' what about my fantasies

Will my dreams come true

If I stay emotionless

Release myself from all the stress

Don't blame it all on you

To myself, I'll be true

We trade in our stability

For all types of insecurities

Now tell me what is to become

Of me

If I let myself stress

Every time life throws me a test

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Holdin' on to something true

To what feels good to you

Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Don't let it get away from you

Do whatcha gotta do

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Holdin' on to something true

To what feels good to you

Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Don't let it get away from you

Do whatcha gotta do

We trade in our stability

For all types of insecurities

Now tell me what is to become

Of me

If I let myself stress

Every time life throws me a test

Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on

Holdin' on to something true

To what feels good to you

Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Don't let it get away from you

Do whatcha gotta do
