You are terrified

The government will take your only income away

And you're vilified

No one understands the things that keep you down

And it goes round and round

Remember that humanity's great paradox is fragility and fortitude

It's at the heart of you

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you

It came from the blindside

Your little girl threw herself in front of a moving train

Your heart is paralysed

How to bear a pain that bleeds the ocean dry

You could refill it with the tears you've cried

Remember that humanity's unique gift

Is for empathy and that you will survive

Where loss is pain, love is alive

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you

Why can no one catch a break

No medication dulls the ache

We all live with our own heartbreak

And something needs to fill the space

Could it be the thing that's tearing all of us apart

Are the very thing

That make us feel there's something whole of which we are a part

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you

Life is brutal

But it's not futile if you hold on to the love

Hold on to the love in you
