  • The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
    The writing's on the wall, for you to see

    You never thought you'd ever get the taste
    You never thought that it could be this good
    Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
    Reach out and touch it's all yours.

    If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
    Just hang in long enough

    You're down on the ground, or so you say
    You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
    Don't ask me how I know, you don't want to hear
    It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.

    You never thought you'd ever get the chance
    You never thought your break would come along
    If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
    Just reach out and touch it's all yours

    If you hang in...

    They always say
    The best things in life are free
    But you want to have everything
    Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.

    So hang in long enough, you'll do it
    Hang in long enough

    They'll let you out, then pull you in
    Playing hell with your emotions,
    You'll feel like giving in.

    So just hang in long enough... Writer/s: Phil Collins
