Welcome to the lonely
Welcome to the human race
I recognize a sadness
Written on your face
Don't be afraid to break down
Don't be afraid to cry
Living in a grey town
People pass you by.
We are on the same face
People feel the same pain
So hard to find a friend
When no one wants to play.
We're children in the school ground
Laughin' in the streets
We don't have to stay down
Cryin' in our sleep…
[Chorus:]
We've got to hold on to each other
Hold on to the trust
Cause' when life gets a little too much
Nothing compares to a human touch.
When you're feeling lonely
And the need is strong
I'll be here to guide you
Give you somewhere to belong.
Don't be afraid to break down
Don't be afraid to cry
Living in a grey town
People pass you by.
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll want to hold on to you…
[Chorus]
(gotta hold on)
(This world is gonna know)
Oh baby won't you hold me through the night?
