BAREFOOT TRUTH HOLDN' ON LYRICS

On top of the world, at least the
world I knew my only company
The wind the rain the sin the
sky the moon, I built my life my
roots set deep in the earth,
But some folks can't see a good
life for what it's worth.

It all began to change at the
sound of a gun, people running
through the fields
their bodies sleeping in the sun,
well soon the grass
became a road and
then the cars rolled by,
well i was choking on the
smoke I thought the air was on
fire, and then the ground
began to rise,
or maybe I was sinking in,
gone be the days I could see
or smell the ocean,
living in a concrete cave with
just my shadow by my side,
but I'll hold on my ground until
this life is gonna pass by.

(Chorus)
I'm holding on to all that I've left,
is that so much for one to ask?
Never wanted more then I was
given, oh but some folks just
don't seem to understand. (2x)

I saw a man yesterday who'd
just been kicked to the curb,
he thought by acting bold
he'd break off more then
he deserved.
Well now he's stretched
himself thin
he holds a cup and begs
for change,
tears pour from his eyes as he
thinks about them good
old days,
I stretch my arms out wide
I said I'll offer you some shade,
and once his eyes had dried
he thought about the life that he
had made,
well he began to realize that
what he'd left was not so good,
then he stood up tall he smiled
and said he understood.
He had to keep on.

(Chorus 4x)
