Billy was a runaway
Arrived in Hell when he was just 16
Tortured by the things they’d say
Vicious words were all he heard
A life of pain was Billy’s fate
Pushed to the brink by every cunning lie
A boy held hostage by their hate
It made them fear him, left him in tears sayin’:
”Someone save me
Cuz I’m falling
Falling off the edge”
But someone tells him
Hey you gotta be strong, and you gotta hold on
You can let them be wrong for one more night
If you never belong, and the battle is long
Tell the world “Bring it on” for one more night
At the edge of your life
It may feel like the end
No salvation in sight
But you gotta hold on
For one more night
Every day a battlefield
A million voices tryin’ to keep him down
At every turn an enemy
How can he stop this, stop the madness
Would you beat a broken soul?
They told Billy he had no one now
Cut by a world so hard, so cold
Billy’s weary, of all this fear, prayin’:
”Someone save me
Cuz I’m falling
Falling off the edge”
But someone tells him
Hey you gotta be strong, and you gotta hold on
You can let them be wrong for one more night
If you never belong, and the battle is long
Tell the world “Bring it on” for one more night
At the edge you may call
Cuz you’re scared that you’ll fall
That’s when you gotta fight
So you gotta hold on
For one more night - Oh
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
”Someone save me
Cuz I’m calling
Calling out to you”
And someone tells him
Hey you gotta be strong, and you gotta hold on
You can let them be wrong for one more night
If you never belong, and the battle is long
Tell the world “Bring it on” for one more night
At the edge of your life
It may feel like the end
No salvation in sight
Hey you gotta be strong, and you gotta hold on
You can let them be wrong for one more night
If you never belong, and the battle is long
Tell the world “Bring it on” for one more night
At the edge you may call
Cuz you’re scared that you’ll fall
That’s when you gotta fight
So you gotta hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
Hold on, hold on, Billy hold on
For one more night
