Hope Is Believin' (Hold on)

I wrote this song to encourage those those who are struggling with depression or going through a really tough time in their lives that there is hope and it's okay to ask for help. Please hold on and keep fighting. My heart and thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by suicide and depression.

Hope Is Believin' (Hold on)
Written by: Mimi Hoang Kuehn


Happiness starts with you
Open up and talk it through
Never ever doubt your worth
Embrace your time here on earth
Some days you feel you’ve had enough
Take time to talk to the ones you love
Lean on friends when you need a lift
You’re really truly an amazing gift

Hold on when you want to let go                           
Open up your arms...you’re not alone.
Please reach out if you feel closed in
Even if it seems you can’t ever win.

If you’re struggling all along
Share me your load so you stay strong.

Believe good things will surely happen
Even when your hope is broken
Let others know how you feel
It takes time to start to heal
Envision better days ahead
Voice out the tears that you have shed
Imagine your strength to carry on
Never feel like your life is done

Hold on when you want to let go                           
Open up your arms...you’re not alone.
Please reach out if you feel closed in
Even if it seems you can’t ever win.

If you’re struggling all along
Share me your load so you stay strong

Promise you will always try
Rise above thoughts of wanting to die
Overcome what’s in your head
Make memories to build instead
In time, your pain will fade away
Soon you’ll be able to smile again
Every hurt that’s built over time
Some day the pain won’t hurt inside

Hold on when you want to let go                           
Open up your arms...you’re not alone.
Please reach out if you feel closed in
Even if it seems you can’t ever win.

If you’re struggling all along
Share me your load so you stay strong
Expect good things to come to you
Realize your worth and believe it’s true

Hold on when you want to let go                           
Open up your arms...you’re not alone.
Please reach out if you feel closed in
Even if it seems you can’t ever win.

If you’re struggling all along
Share me your load so you stay strong
Expect good things to come to you
Realize your worth and believe it’s true


The first letter in every sentence, when put together, spells out this special message:
