Over my shoulder my father walks slowly Oh so slowly, right in front of him my mother Skips like a little girl and cries like an old woman Hold on, keep a firm grip Hold on, never lose a grip As i grow older, i find it hard going home Just going home, my brother's eyes, my sister's cries Could bring me to the ground Hold on keep a firm grip Hold on, never lose it Hold on, keep a firm grip Hold on, never lose a grip no no Hold on, keep a firm grip Hold on, never lose it Hold on, keep a firm grip Hold on and never lose it
