Hold on tight |
Lyrics"Hold On Tight"By Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A You scraped your knee, came runnin' in I kissed your cut and hid my grin You asked me why the sky goes dark I said, "It's where the dreams all start" Verse 1B You tried to tie your worn-out shoes Got tangled up, then kicked them loose I sat you down and told you slow, "Some things take time -- you'll learn and grow" Pre-Chorus The world won't wait, it pulls and bends But real strength starts where small things end Chorus Hold on tight when the winds blow hard Lead with love and protect your heart Say you're sorry when you mess up And don't confuse being kind with "tough" Love won't always feel like it should But broken hearts can still do good You'll get it more the more you grow That's just what your mama knows Verse 2A You closed your door, turned up your songs Tried to act brave, but I knew all along You said the world feels cold and loud I said, "You're strong -- just don't get proud" Verse 2B You lost your way, you lost your girl You asked me, "Mom, what's wrong with the world?" I said, "It hurts, but take it slow Some things you learn the hard way, though" Pre-Chorus You won't believe it right away But life will teach you what I say Chorus Hold on tight when the winds blow hard Lead with love and protect your heart Say you're sorry when you mess up And don't confuse being kind with "tough" Love won't always feel like it should But broken hearts can still do good You'll get it more the more you grow That's just what your mama knows Bridge I won't be there for every mile But hear my voice once in a while Final Chorus (soft to full) Hold on tight when the winds blow hard Lead with love and protect your heart Say you're sorry when you mess up And don't confuse being kind with "tough" Love won't always feel like it should But broken hearts can still do good You'll get it more the more you grow That's just what your mama knows |
| Short Song Description: This song is a mother's voice -- the kind you still hear long after you've grown. "Hold On Tight" is a reminder that strength doesn't always roar... sometimes, it's soft. Sometimes, it's just knowing when to say "I'm sorry," or how to keep going when the world feels too loud. It's a song for every child who ever asked why... And for every parent who answered, as best they could, with love and hope. These are lessons you don't always understand in the moment. But you carry them anyway. |
