Lyrics
[verse]
Tommy's got a shift down at the factory floor
Sarah counts the coupons at the corner store
Rent is due, the truck won't start again
But they still hold on tighter than they've ever held before
[verse]
Some nights the bills pile up higher than the moon
Some nights it feels like heartbreak comes too soon
But Sarah takes his hand when the power's cut
Says as long as we're together, baby, that's enough
[chorus]
We're holding on for one more day
Living on a promise we won't let slip away
We got nothing but each other and the fight
Holding on, holding on, we'll make it through tonight
Half way there, livin' on a prayer
[verse]
Tommy dreams of something bigger down the road
Sarah keeps the family warm against the cold
They ain't got much but they got what's true
Two hearts that keep on pushing through
[chorus]
We're holding on for one more day
Living on a promise we won't let slip away
We got nothing but each other and the fight
Holding on, holding on, we'll make it through tonight
Half way there, livin' on a prayer
[bridge]
Power chords are ringing like a battle cry
For every couple who won't say goodbye
Whatever falls apart, whatever falls behind
Love's the only wage they'll ever find
[chorus]
We're holding on for one more day
Living on a promise we won't let slip away
We got nothing but each other and the fight
Holding on, holding on, we'll make it through tonight
Half way there, livin' on a prayer
[chorus]
We're holding on for one more day
Living on a promise we won't let slip away
Holding on, holding on, we'll make it through tonight
Half way there, livin' on a prayer
