Lyrics

HOLD STEADY
(Lyrics and music by Winston Apple)

In so many places in the world today
Life moves at a furious pace
Like a raging river
Time and people go rushing by
It’s easy to get caught up in the current
And be swept away

When storms are raging all around me
And I long for sunny weather
I need a rock to cling to, until things get better
I know I need to learn to be that rock
So I will have a place to stand so I will not be lost

I hold fast to my dreams,
I keep my eyes open wide
I try to see people for who they are
I aspire to be wise
I know life will test me from time to time
I want to be ready
I keep my eyes on the prize and hold steady
Yes, I keep my eyes on the prize and hold steady

I seek out quiet places
I want to get to know my Self
I refuse to yield to the pressure to be like everybody else
I want to be more than just another cog in the machine
Working and consuming without a thought as to what it all means

Come what may
I try to respond appropriately
I am doing my best to become all that I can be
When opportunity comes knocking, I want to be ready
So I keep my eyes on the prize and hold steady
So I keep my eyes on the prize and hold steady

This world is as beautiful as we each choose to make it
I know there are people who will mistreat me
I do my best not to take it
I try to roll with the punches
I go with the flow
I know there are times when it’s best to keep my distance
From troubled and angry souls

I keep my heart full of Love
I try to do what’s right
I have learned to let Love be my guiding light
Of all the lessons life has taught me
The best one I have learned
Is that if that if you learn to give Love
You will get Love in return

When Love comes my way
I make sure that I am ready
I keep my heart open wide and hold steady
I keep my heart open wide and I hold steady
I keep my heart open wide
