Hold On Tight (Electric Light Orchestra, 1981) Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Puka's Bar and Grill, Kahala, HI. 2023-05-31. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Hold On Tight," written by Jeff Lynne, was the Electric Light Orchestra's (ELO) last top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart landing at the no. 10 position in 1981 (Whitburn, 2013). From ELO's album "Time," "Hold On Tight is about perseverance. In fact, the album "is a concept album about a time traveler who visits the year 2095. This song takes place on his return trip in 1981. He is inspired, and now knows that everything he needs he can find back home" (songfacts, 2023).

Lyrics:

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream

It's a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Hold tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Accroches-toi a ton rêve
Accroches-toi a ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton rêve

When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
