I wrote this song with Mike Hovancsek at the beginning of the pandemic. I'm finally getting around to recording it and putting into the world now. It's a bit dated but it's still a good song.

HOLD ON
Hold on Be not afraid
We’ll keep this light burning
through the most lonesome days

They closed all the schools and cancelled our plans
They turned toff he sports and shut down Disney Land
They banned all the gatherings of the human race
Now we all sit at home and wait for the wave to break

Streets were all empty and we all headed home
The businesses are dark and the future’s unknown
Hold on oh you people and know that it’s true
if we face this together, we’ll make it through

It’s gonna be a long road
but we can’t walk it alone
in the hardest times,
we will carry someone else’s load
We’re gonna get so wise
we gonna get there just in time
we’re gonna wake up
we’re gonna rise up
and the Earth will unfold all it’s beauty
and the beauty will call all the heavens
and the heavens will bless all the people
and the people will gather again

We all hunkered down
and stopped visiting friends
The front lines were burning,
And there’s sorrow in the wind
I’m keeping my distance but holding what’s true
from a distance I’m learning to love you

There’s the churning of the rivers
and the rolling of the sea
There’s the singing of the birds
and the blowing of the breeze
Hold on o you people
and know that it’s true
if we face this together,
we’ll make it through

So Hold on Be not afraid
We’ll keep this light burning
through the most lonesome days
