Sixteen and all alone
Walking home from school one night
Nothing seemed to be going right
She lost her way and she got scared
Tears of frustration fell down her face
A man came, took her by the hand
Said if you just hold on
It's all gonna be okay
Take a step, dont let it be your last
Oh honey, I know everything seems so fast
But you're young, and you're strong
So just hold on
Mm you're gonna make it
She never had a chance to thank that man
He was gone without another sound
But she often thought back to that day
And wondered if he knew he was saving her
Yeah, she was saved from his few words
If you just hold on,
It's gonna be okay
Take a step, don't let it be your last
Oh honey, I know everything seems so fast
But you're young, and you're strong
So just hold on
Ooh and just hold on
