I know this pain
   Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
   No one can change your life except for you
   Don't ever let anyone step all over you
   Just open your heart and your mind
   Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
  
   Chorus:
   Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
   Turn around and say goodbye
   Until then baby are you going to let them
   Hold you down and make you cry
   Don't you know?
   Don't you know things can change
   Things'll go your way
   If you hold on for one more day
   Can you hold on for one more day
   Things'll go your way
   Hold on for one more day
  
   You could sustain
   Or are you comfortable with the pain?
   You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
   You got yourself into your own mess
   Lettin' your worries pass you by
   Don't you think it's worth your time
   To change your mind?
  
   (Chorus)
  
   I know that there is pain
   But you hold on for one more day and
   Break free the chains
   Yeah I know that there is pain
   But you hold on for one more day and you
   Break free, break from the chains
  
   Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
   Turn around and say goodbye
   Until then baby are you going to let them
   Hold you down and make you cry
   Don't you know?
   Don't you know things can change
   Things'll go your way
   If you hold on for one more day yeah
   If you hold on
  
   Don't you know things can change
   Things'll go your way
   If you hold on for one more day,
   If you hold on
   Can you hold on
   Hold on baby
   Won't you tell me now
   Hold on for one more day 'Cause
   It's gonna go your way
  
   Don't you know things can change
   Things'll go your way
   If you hold on for one more day
   Can't you change it this time
  
   Make up your mind
   Hold on
   Hold on
   Baby hold on
