As I step to the edge of a shadow of a doubt With my conscience beating Like the pulse of a drum That hammers on and on Till I reach the break of the day When the sun beats down On the halfway house As my conscience beating The sound in my ear The will to persevere As I reach the break of the day When you lost all hope and excuses And the cheapskates &the losers Nothing's left to cling onto Gotta hold on Hold on to yourself A cry of hope A plea for peace And my conscience beating It's not what I want for It's all that I need To reach the break of the day So I run to the edge of a shadow of a doubt With my conscience bleeding Here lies the truth The lost treasures of my youth As I hold till the break of the day When you lost all hope and excuses And the cheapskates &the losers Nothing's left to cling onto Gotta hold on Hold on to yourself When you lost all hope and excuses And the cheapskates &the losers Nothing's left to cling onto Gotta hold on Gotta hold on Hold on Hold on to yourself
