Hold Back

Hear the voice of experienceA word from the wiseGrab opportunityWhile you're alive'cos if you follow the crowd'cos if you act like a cowardYou'll end up yelling out loudHold backYou'll regret it somedayChoke on thatDon't let it pass you byHold backYou better seize the hourYou look in your history booksYou delve in the pastStalin and rooseveltBoth took their chancesAnd george grasped the nettleIt's do or dareFrom the banks of the delawareYeah don't hold backTrust your gut reactionBe bold, be bold babyIf you don't take chancesYou won't make advancesHold back yeahDon't matter if you ain't so good lookingIf you ain't sharp as a bladeDon't be afraidDon't hold backLife is passing you byChoke on thatKeep on moving, keep on movingGotta run with the crowdYou'll end up in the madhouseShouting the cold walls downYeah don't hold backHold backYou're messing with your lifeHold backYeah life goes by fast sometimesBe bold be bold be bold be bold babyYou're wasting your timeI want your attentionSo pin back your earsI've been climbing this tree of promisesFor over forty yearsYour vision get brokenAnd bust on the groundSo watch me, watch me reboundYeah don't hold backYou're wrecking your lifeChoke on thatDon't hold backNo don't hold backYou're messing with your life
