You're walking through a long hard road
You're lonely and you've got no home
But brother, hold on
You've gotta hold on

You're feeling like you're half alive
And you're living but you want to die
But brother, hold on
You've gotta hold on

Standing tall walk like a man
Don't make your stand with your back against the wall
You know your time is come
Don't turn around but face them all 'cause now
The battle is over and now the victory is won
And now we're gonna stand out shoulder to shoulder
One look in their eyes it's no surprise
To see them on the run

Well the freedom path is never straight
It's crooky and it's full of hate
But brother, hold on
You've gotta hold on

Crosses burning up the night
A hooded face against the light
But brother, hold on
You've gotta hold on

Standing tall walk like a man
Come peace or rain and call for Uncle Sam
You know but last to show the train the boat
Ground fort safe 'Cause now
The battle is over and now the victory is won
We're gonna stand now Shoulder to Shoulder
One look in their eyes it's no surprise
To see them on the run
Hold on, brother
