Lyrics
For Free
1) Have you had a real bad day? Feel a little low today?
despite your best, life's-a got you down
If You wanna change your luck, start drinking from the Master's cup
Pretty soon you'll see things turn around
Chorus
Just hold on, He's always a-sayin' count on me
When hope is gone, if your heart's needin' fixin',
he'll do it for free
2) I've seen it oh so many times; you know it always blows my mind
How a hungy man can walk away
He's lookin' for the answer-man, but marchin' in a marchin' band,
he's never gonna change the way he plays
Chorus (this time, "Just hold on - (to the Daman)"
and "when hope is gone - (remember)
3) You don't know, but the darkened woods are clearin' like He said they would.
There's an open meadow up ahead
It's gonna be a lovely day - turn out in a real nice way
A meadowland of flowers will be your bed
Chorus 2 times
