The Branch Lyrics

He holds on, anyway
He holds on into another day
Works fourteen hours, it's not enough
For six years he'd been going, when the going it got tough

He's wondering why
the company had to let him go
He's wondering if
he'll have a home anymore
His feet and mind
feel like they've been ground down
Tells his best friend,
as they share one last round,
"'Bro, I'm more lost than found"

She holds on, anyway
She holds on into another day
Looks for ways out, and draws a blank
'Cause the house her daddy left her is going to the bank

She's wondering why
feels like you're always at point A
Looks to the sky,
clouds that keep turning into grey
Nights on the phone,
she says "Mama, I just can't go on"

Her mom says "Babe, I have learned,
if you can smile, then you've won"

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling
Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling

Rain keeps coming, wind keeps blowing
We're dangling from the tree of life
People falling all around you
But a voice inside you says "Don't let go"

We hold on, anyway
We hold on right through our judgement day
We march on, though nothing's sure
We go on, and hope our illness has a cure

We're wondering why
this life 'aint like we once had hoped
We're wondering how
to change most everything and cope
Each day and night,
a test we don't know if we'll pass
Keep holding on, let go the past,
and we'll get there at last

Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling
Everyone needs a branch to hold onto when they're falling
