Hold Back Lyrics

Hear the voice of experience, a word from the wise
Grab opportunity, while you're alive
'Cause if you follow the crowd, 'cause if you act like a coward
You'll end up yelling 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
If you look in your history books you delve in the past
Stalin and Roosevelt, 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

Don't matter if you ain't so good lookin'
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
You'll end up in the madhouse shouting the cold walls down

Don't hold back. Hold back
You're messing with your life, hold back
Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes
Be bold baby, you're wastin' your time
I want your attention, so pin back your ears
I've been climbing this tree of promises for over forty years
The visions get broken and bust on the ground
So watch me, watch me rebound

Yeah, don't hold back, you wrecking your life
Choke on that. Don't hold back, no don't hold back
You're messing with your life
