Keep me past the gate   Iíve worn the world without a word   and I donít care too much for what they say   Grip my smothering end   another day will pass again   Keep my fire alive for Iím not afraid   Can I make them understand   Who in the world would have thought this,   God Iíll never know your plans      Doin what I got to   what I got to hang on   cause Iím doin what I got to   what I got to Hang on   Hanging on by a thread this is what I got   so hang on to this      Keep me pacified   The light will never see my face   for this must be a better place   Keep them entertained   Iíve lost the feel, Iíve lost the pain   For this seems like a better place      Maybe youíll find what you seek   if you hold on to truth   then your truth will set you free
