Hold Back

[Verse 1]

Hear the voice of experience

A word from the wise

Grab opportunity, yes, while you're alive

Because if you follow the crowd

Because if you act like a coward

You'll end up yelling out loud

[Chorus]

Hold back

You'll regret it someday

Choke on that

Don't let it pass you by

Hold back

You better seize the hour

[Verse 2]

If you looked in your history book

If you delve in the past

Stalin and Roosevelt, yeah, they both took their chances

And George grasped the mettle

It's do or dare

From the banks of the Delaware

[Chorus]

Yeah, don't hold back

Trust your gut reaction

Be bold, be bold, baby

Mmm, if you don't take chances, you won't make advances

Hold back, yeah

[Verse 3]

Don't matter if you ain’t so good looking

If you ain’t sharp as a blade

Nah, don't be afraid

[Chorus]

Don't hold back

Life is passing you by

Choke on that

Keep on moving, keep on moving, yeah

[Verse 4]

Yes, you run with the crowd, yeah

You will end up in the madhouse

Shouting those cold walls down

Yeah, don't hold back

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Ah hold back, you're messing with your life

Hold back

Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes

Be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold baby

[Verse 5]

You're wasting your time

I want your attention

So pin back your ears

I've been climbing this tree of promises

For over forty years

Your vision get broken

It bust on the ground

So watch me, watch me rebound

[Chorus]

Yeah, don't hold back

You're wrecking your life

Choke on that, yeah

Don't hold back

You're messing with your life
