"Just Hang On" Lyrics

When I was young
Back when life was fun
I recall the words my papa said
He said to be a man
You gotta try and understand
There's one thing that you must know

If you want to go far
Well, set yourself a goal
And just hang on, just hang on
And if you do this my son
Your gonna make it someday
Just hang on, my son
That's the only way

Well it wasn't long
When I left daddy's home
All alone with no place to be
With a great surprise
It looked me straight in the eyes
A red guitar and the dreams of a star

If you want to go far
Set yourself a goal
And just hang on, just hang on
And if you do this my son
You're gonna make it someday
Just hang on, my son
That's the only way
That's the only way
You'll be a star some day
I say, Lord, let me hear you play
Play on
