I searched for mercy
And some wondering light
To cure my health
And ease my sight

I met this fellow
Seemed mighty wise to me
He guided me
Out of my misery

He spared me tones of grief,
when he said:
"Hold on to the bitter end"

Hold on
Be bold to the bitter end
He said
"Be bold to the bitter end"
Hold on
He said

He said later later
Come walk with me
I'll take you through
Your pity

Let's board the train
Are you in for the ride?
What comes before you
Will change your life

He spared me tones of grief
when he said:
"Hold on,
there is rest
without death"
Hold on
He said
"I'll die again"

Hold on
He said
Hold on

To the bitter
To the bitter
To the bitter
To the bitter
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
To the bitter
End
