Many times when I was little
I'd hold my Daddy's hand
Many times I thought I was so strong
I'd let go and try to stand
Many times I'd fall and was so ashamed
Never good enough
But someone failed to tell me
Holding on doesn't do too much
Chorus
Sometimes I'm on the mountain
Holding on to Your hand
Sometimes I'm in the middle
Holding the best I can
Sometimes I'm in the valley
I let go long ago
My hand is weak and tired
But Your hand still has a hold
Many times when I was a child
They told me to follow the rules
Many times I tried oh so hard
To do what they wanted me to
But many times I failed, and in my disgrace, I couldn't call Your name
But I found that though I left You
You were with me all the same
I've tried to hold on to You
Seems the best I can do is sometimes
Doing everything I can
But it's slipping through my hands sometimes
Half time
If You're looking for consistency
Look to someone else
Cause I'm holding hands with heaven
While I'm making eyes at hell
If I'm ever gonna change
God, I need Your help
