Hold On To Life

Hold on to life
For if breath is gone
A man is dead and done
Life is a mist
That appears for a while.

Hold on to life
For when breath is gone
Life is ended
Life is a shadow
That is gone forever.

Hold on to your vision
For when mission is gone
A man is done and dead
Life is a mist
That for a while appears.

Hold on to your vision
For when mission is gone
Life is ended
Life is a shadow
That is forever gone.
