Lyrics
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Gotta be more to life than my nine to five
Livin' each week from check to check
Shufflin' the bills just to make the rent
Momma's not as young as she used to be
But she's still momma to me
Taught me to be humble and stand strong
When times got tough baby you got to hold on
Hold On, Pray On
God is with you everyday
Be strong, press on
Believe when you pray
The world keeps spinnin'round and round
Like a roller coaster with its ups and downs
Where were you on 9-1-1
When your old life stopped and your new begun
The little things in life didn't matter as much
Folks turned to God in a rush
Like a stampede that's out of control
People started prayin' please Lord calm the storm
Hold On, Pray On
God is with you everyday
Be strong, press on
Believe when you pray
