[Intro] (a capella) Hold on, hold on (a capella) There's got to be a future (a capella) Hold on [Interlude] 2/4 | / | / / | / | | | [Chorus] Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today [Verse 1] The sun will melt away The sky so dark decay And summer, spring and autumn, winter Melt into a single moment [Verse 2] Poured into the past Like a stream run dry at last Hold on, hold on [Bridge 1] There's got to be a future To create and to defend So the world can never end Hold on Things can't be quite so bad That all we have and all we had Never were and won't return Lost in a fire that cannot burn Hold on, hold on [Chorus] Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today [Interlude] 2/4 | / | / / | / | | [Bridge 2] Look around, look around The rain is falling from the sky Planes taking off to fly The swooping birds and barking dogs Shopping malls and catalogues Traffic stopped on busy streets Lovers lying between the sheets Business models, computer freaks Modern artists, new techniques Money comes and money goes Children cry and still suppose There's got to be a future ... Hold on [Chorus] Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Or the world will end today [Chorus] Hold on, hold on There's got to be a future Hold on [Interlude] 2/4 | / | / / | / | |
