Edson Kailes - You're Tough Enough Lyrics

The wind's howlin' through the hollow streets tonight,
Factories gone quiet, no work in sight.
But there's a light in the window, a flame in your soul,
Even when the world feels dark and cold.
You feel the weight, yeah, it's breakin' your back,
Dreams in your pocket, turned to faded tracks.
But don't let go, there's a fight in your hands,
A fire's burnin' in the heart of this land.
Hold on, brother, when the nights grow long,
Hold on, sister, to the rhythm of the song.
The road is rough, but you're tough enough,
When the world says quit, you just hold on.
I met a man down at the Union Line,
Said, "Son, it's gonna get harder with time."
But he looked me in the eye, with his weathered face,
And said, "You don't give up, you keep your faith."
There's a power in the work of our calloused hands,
A hymn rising up from the struggling man.
It's the steel in your spirit, the blood in your veins,
Through the storm, through the loss, through the pain.
Hold on, brother, when the nights grow long,
Hold on, sister, to the rhythm of the song.
The road is rough, but you're tough enough,
When the world says quit, you just hold on.
(You just hold on)
(You just hold on)
I met a drifter by the canyon's edge,
With a torn-up map and a life on the ledge.
He said, "Boy, the climb ain't for the faint,
But there's a view up top where your fears grow faint."
His words hit me like a train in the night,
Sometimes you gotta lose the road to find the light.
So I packed my doubts, left 'em down below,
The higher I climb, the more my heart knows.
Hold on, brother, when the nights grow long,
Hold on, sister, to the rhythm of the song.
The road is rough, but you're tough enough,
When the world says quit, you just hold on.
Every mile we walk feels like a thousand more,
But the morning sun'll meet us on the other shore.
There's a hope in the hard times, a love in the fight,
We're holdin' on together, through the endless night.
Hold on, brother, when the nights grow long,
Hold on, sister, to the rhythm of the song.
The road is rough, but you're tough enough,
When the world says quit, you just hold on.
Yeah, Hold on
Through the tears, through the rain
(Hold)
Hold on, break those chains
(Hold on)
'Til the skies turn clear,
Hold on,
We're almost here
Hold on brother,
Through the tears, through the rain
(Hold on)
Hold on, break those chains
(Hold on)
'Til the skies turn clear,
Hold on,
We're almost here
