Ooh, we were eye to eye, face to face,
She tried to put me in my place, telling me there is no forever,
She said, "You're on your own, you're on the throne; yeah, life is what you make it,"
I just smiled, then she knew I was gonna tell her what I always do.

He's given me a promise, shown me the way,
With him, we will always be standing,
I will hold on, hold on until we meet, one day.

"Nothing ever comes easy," she said, "nothing is free,"
"God is just a feeling that comforts you and me,"
I knew, right then, that I had no choice; I began to raise my voice,
It doesn't matter how hard you try, only God can change your life.

He's given me a promise, shown me the way,
With him, we will always be standing,
I will hold on, hold on until we meet, one day,
He's given me a promise, shown me the way,
With him, we will always be standing,
I will hold on, hold on until we're face to face.

It may be simple when you think it through, but why fight it' - you got nothing to lose,
You know yourself there's more to the plan than to go through life and take what you can.

He's given me a promise, shown me the way,
With him, we will always be standing,
I will hold on, hold on until we meet, one day,
Given me a promise, given me a promise,
With him, we will always be standing, keep standing,
I will hold on, I will hold on until we're face to face,
