Hold On is a heartfelt tribute to the first responders who bravely run toward danger when everyone else is trying to escape. This D Alan Morgan song captures the essence of courage through scenes of floods, fires, and unimaginable emergencies, honoring the ordinary men and women who risk their own lives to bring strangers home safely. Its powerful message is encapsulated in one simple line: “Somebody runs into the fire, so somebody else can run.” As an example of original country music, it highlights the selflessness of those who serve in our communities.
{Verse 1}
There's a family on a rooftop
Watching everything they own
Rolling down a muddy river
Where there used to be a road
There's a siren through the darkness
There's a light out in the rain
And a stranger wades through water
Just to bring them home again
{Chorus}
Hold on, hold on
Mama, hold on
There's somebody coming through the storm
When the night is at its darkest
And you're wondering where to turn
Hold on, hold on
Help is already on the run
Somebody runs into the fire
So somebody else can run
{Verse 2}
There's a teacher locking classroom doors
And children on the floor
There's a sound out in the hallway
Nobody should ever know
But while a hundred people scatter
And pray to God to make it stop
There are men and women running
Straight toward the sound of shots
{Chorus}
Hold on, hold on
Mama, hold on
There's somebody coming through the storm
When the night is at its darkest
And you're wondering where to turn
Hold on, hold on
Help is already on the run
Somebody runs into the fire
So somebody else can run
{Verse 3}
There's a house lit up like daylight
There's a bedroom down the hall
There's a father in the driveway
Saying someone's still inside
Before he even finishes
They're already through the door
They'll risk the life that's waiting home
For someone they've never known before
{Final Chorus}
Hold on, hold on
Mama, hold on
There's somebody coming through the storm
When the night is at its darkest
And you're wondering where to turn
Hold on, hold on
Help is already on the run
Somebody runs into the fire
So somebody else can run
{Outro}
They don't ask your name
They don't ask where you're from
Somebody runs into the fire
So somebody else can run
