There are days when everything around you seems to crumble, discouragement shadows every step, and the weight within feels heavier than usual.
The song “Hold On (Change Is Comin’)” by Sounds of Blackness speaks to those days. The song starts by someone asking how one can smile when things are falling apart.
“When I wanna cry. I take a look around and I see that I’m getting by” The singer isn’t denying or pretending that there is nothing going on. It’s his simple act of hanging on.
What It Means for Us
“When the troubles of life weigh you down”, the song reminds us to lift our heads. Not because the pain disappears, but because there is a reason to keep going.
Maybe it’s the quiet belief that things will look different someday not because the struggle was easy, but because something better is coming.
Some of us spend a lifetime worrying or hiding from our pain. Others avoid the hard parts of life altogether. But this song gently tells us to keep faith. Keep holding on. Keep believing that change—real, meaningful change— is on the other side of the hardship.
A Truth to Carry
Some days we barely make it through, and yet we do. So we keep breathing, keep holding on, and keep surviving.
