From the recording The Last Supper Club
2020 will always be a bookmark for the world, for all of us as individuals and a nation. Add to that the personal challenges that we face and all we want is to have a little bit of Hope to hang on to... and of course, one another, too. Dedicated to Mel & Jeff.

Holding on to Hope
Music and Lyrics © 2020 Paul R Anderson; Recording ©℗ 2020 Also Paul Publishing
Here we go again, back where we came from
Holding hands
Often, we pretend what seems so innocent
Will never end
Round and round we go, reaching for hope
Let go of control right now
Forgotten fairy tales. Reawakened dreams.
Transformed one day
Songs we used to sing might not be worth remembering
Ain’t that a shame!
Round and round we go, we’re not on our own
Turning toward hope right now.
Holding on to hope
We’re hanging on a prayer
God is listening – wo-oh
The answer is there
(Bridge instrumental)
We made a simple life, rearranging scenes
Building dreams
Finally, we can see control is but a fantasy
And pray for relief
All the friends we know feeding our souls
Awarding us hope right now
Holding on to hope
We’re hanging on a prayer
God is whispering – wo-oh
The answer is there
