If You Should Let Go
by Michael Doyle

Believe
Just believe
A little bit longer
Hold On
Just hold on
A little bit stronger

To that love in your soul
When your passion gives up control
Even when you feel down and out
This is the only thing you can't doubt

You feel your love from the inside
In that special place, you yearn and cannot hide
When cold and dark are closing in
You wake in the morning to love again

Believe
Just believe
A little bit longer
Hold On
Just hold on
A little bit stronger

Sometimes, you feel alone and afraid
Eyes wide open, you recount the plans made
You hold on to that bit of happiness
Afraid that there is something you might miss

A love song plays on the radio
And you wonder if you should let go
The tears from your eyes roll down your cheek
And you find yourself not wanting to speak

Believe
Just believe
A little bit longer
Hold On
Just hold on
A little bit stronger

You cry alone into the moonlight
Feeling you've fought your best fight
You feel the echoes in your bones
Praying to God that you're not alone

Holding on to the image of that someone you love
Knowing they're out there somewhere under the moon above
Wondering to yourself if they, too, feel this pain
And cry to yourself just this side of sane 

Believe
Just believe
A little bit longer
Hold On
Just hold on
A little bit stronger
