I used to count the miles and chase another sign
Thinking one more win would make the whole world mine
But love was in the kitchen light,
waiting by the door
And time kept telling me to want a little more
Hold on to the hands that hold you steady
Hold on
to the truth that keeps you strong
In the end it's not the gold we're after
It's the hearts we carry all along I see my mother smiling
in the lines upon her face
Every mark a little lesson,
every tear a kind of grace
Friends who stayed through thunder nights,
through every rise and fall
Showed me what it means to stand and answer when they call
Hold
on to the hands that hold you steady
Hold
on to the truth that keeps you strong In the end it's
not the gold we're after It's the hearts we carry all along
All along When the night goes quiet,
love remains (ooh)
Love remains
