about

Hold On was inspired by an asylum seeker I interviewed en route to the UK when I worked for a human rights charity. It's about the incredible strength & resilience displayed by so many, in spite of the atrocities they have to overcome, in order to find refuge.
​​
I hope Hold On helps raise awareness (& compassion without discrimination) for everyone fleeing conflict the world over.

This is a new sound for me (chillhop) so can’t wait to hear what you think. Plus a subject matter that is really close to my heart. Hope you connect with it.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Oh she had to leave. Ain’t no way she can go back now
And still she goes. With no place to rest her head
Miles and miles and miles of road she treads. Dust in her hair
No one knows what she’s been through
No one knows what she’s come from
And yet, she’s still got this fire

Keep on moving. Hope will prevail
You will survive this
Keep on breathing this fire in
Deep down in your soul

Yes they ripped her world. Apart again and again
They tried to break her. But she said let them try
There’s no time to say goodbye. She slips away in the half-light
No one knows what she’s been through
No one knows what she’s come from
She hears tales of a promised land

Keep on moving. Hope will prevail
You will survive this
Keep on breathing this fire in
Deep down in your soul (x4)

She’s one of many. At the mercy of new hands
But she survived that. She will survive this
On and on and on she waits. For them to make a decision
No one knows what she’s been through
No one knows what she’s come from
And so how can they send her back?

Keep on hoping. Will justice prevail?
Will you survive this?
Keep on breathing this fire in
Deep down in your soul (x5)
