You keep what you're feelin' inside
All buried and boxed up inside
The love that you're feelin' inside
The pity you're feelin' inside

Society tells you, "Stay cool"
They shout you with "Let out"
"Hold back"
"You're right now, but right now hold back
Be practical, Jack, and hold back"

You feel like you're bustin' inside
Your heart's in a desp'rate divide

(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why?)

Let go let the world know you're alive
Let the world know you believe
Let the world know you have love to give
Go tell it in the city
Go tеll it on the mountain
Go tell it loud until they hеar

Society tells you, "Hold back"
They shout you with "Let out"
"Hold back"
"You're right now, but right now hold back
Be practical, Jack, and hold back"

You feel like you're bustin' inside
Your heart's in a desperate divide

(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why, why) Hold back?
(Why, why, why?)

Let go let the world know you're alive
Let the world know you believe
Let the world know you have love to give
Go tell it in the city
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it loud until they hear

Let go let the world know you're alive
Let the world know you believe
Let the world know you have love to give
Go tell it in the city
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it loud until they hear

Let go let the world know you're alive
Let the world know you believe
Let the world know you have love to give
Go tell it in the city
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it loud until they hear

Let go let the world know you're alive
Let the world know you believe
Let the world know you have love to give
Go tell it in the city
