Story Behind The Song
HANG ON - was written at a time of cross roads for me and the bands I was playing in at the time. Members had just left both projects, personal life break ups were happening within the band members, and career path choices began to take shape in a different direction than the path of a professional musician leading to some key members leaving the band. I was at a place of packing up and moving the music over to Australia. I thought I could make a good go of the songs I had written and was continuously writing. I even thought maybe I wouldn't do music that way at all anymore. Maybe I'd just become a karaoke star or singer for higher (which I did actually did for a while) but instead a very dear friend to me set me straight. She told me that running away wouldn't change a thing. No matter what I did that my passion would follow. I could trade one street for another but the heart remains. My friend pleaded for me to hang on to my dream, hang on to my belief that what I was doing would take me where I was meant to go, hang on to that passion, that drive, and to never give up. That no matter what it was worth the journey.

Lyrics
Oh, love this land
Take it in your arms and make a stand
But don't you know
It takes a bigger man to walk away
You hear it calling
Forever falling
This could last forever
Time is our master
You know I didn't mean to
But I got lost and now I need you to
Shine your light that keeps leading me back home
Hang on, Hang on,
Don't let it go, don't let it die
Don't be naïve
Nothing disappears when you turn away
Oh, foolish man
You think you understand before you listen
You hear it calling
Forever falling
This could last forever
Time is our master
You know I didn't mean to
But I got lost and now I need you to
Shine your light that keeps leading me back home
Hang on, hang on
Don't let it go, don't let it die
Oh, hang on. Hang on...
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
