You've held onto it tightly
Never let it go
As it has been your friend for life
Through all the highs and lows
Through all the winter storms
In all the summer rains
It has been the anchor which
Has held it all in place
Among the ups and downs
All the ins and outs
The many cares left unaware
With the here's and there abouts
You think it over when you're under
As it helps to calm the doubt
When there seems to be no other way
For you to walk the lonely mile
You may one day choose to let it loose
Where it can have its say
In hopes it helps another
Along their merry way
Until then...
You'll hold onto it tightly
Never let it go
As it has been your friend for life
Through all the highs and lows

You've held onto it tightly
Never let it go
As it has been your friend for life
Through all the highs and lows
Through all the winter storms
In all the summer rains
It has been the anchor which
Has held it all in place
Among the ups and downs
All the ins and outs
The many cares left unaware
With the here's and there abouts
You think it over when you're under
As it helps to calm the doubt
When there seems to be no other way
For you to walk the lonely mile
You may one day choose to let it loose
Where it can have its say
In hopes it helps another
Along their merry way
Until then...
You'll hold onto it tightly
Never let it go
As it has been your friend for life
Through all the highs and lows
