hold on - yet another version

Craig had sent a text that I could use as 'template' for the verses:

yet another rewrite for "Hold on"

During my vacation I wrote two verses. Unforunately I could only come up with lines that had one syllable too many compared to Craig's dummy text. Musically they seemed to work nonetheless - at least in my mind.

This is "hold on", version 3:

our lives spent in blindness walking trodden paths
taking things for granted that we know won't last
we've never really cared to tell right from wrong
our future still ahead we've felt young and strong

standing at the crossroads
unknowing where to head
we're just hoping for enlightenment

hold on
let's see what's underneath
hold on
and take some time to breathe
be ready for a secret
that is on the verge
of coming to the daylight
to let the truth emerge

this is not the first time, we've been there before
leaving undecided what we're striving for
trying to hold on to what we thought we'd found
pretending that our views were quite true and sound

maybe we just need faith
that there will be a way
to get us out of our predicament

hold on
can you read the signs
hold on
that rest between the lines
of our private story
in the book of life
revealing our future
and how we will survive

can you tell the future
or understand the past
do you know a truth
that you trust to last
do you get the meaning
in the flood of words
are things getting clearer
or remaining blurred

hold on
let's see what's underneath
hold on ...
