Hold Back

Hear the voice of experience

A word from the wise

Grab opportunity

While you're alive

'Cos if you follow the crowd

'Cos if you act like a coward

You'll end up yelling out loud

Hold back

You'll regret it someday

Choke on that

Don't let it pass you by

Hold back

You better seize the hour

You look in your history books

If you delve in the past

Stalin and Roosevelt, yeah

Both took their chances

And George grasped the nettle

It's do or dare

From the banks of the Delaware

Yeah, don't hold back

Trust your gut reaction

Be bold, be bold, baby

If you don't take chances

You won't make advances

Hold back, yeah

Don't matter if you ain't so good looking

If you ain't sharp as a blade

Don't be afraid

Don't hold back

Life is passing you by

Choke on that

Keep on moving, keep on moving

Gotta run with the crowd, yeah

You'll end up in the madhouse

Shouting the cold walls down

Yeah, don't hold back

Hold back

You're messing with your life

Hold back

Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes

Be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold, baby

You're wasting your time

I want your attention

So pin back your ears

I've been climbing this tree of promises

For over forty years

Your vision get broken

And bust on the ground

So watch me, watch me rebound

Yeah, don't hold back

You're wrecking your life

Choke on that

Don't hold back

No don't hold back

You're messing with your life
