John Lennon - Hold On Lyrics
Hold on, John
John, hold on
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna win the fight
Yoko, hold on
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna make the flight
When you're by yourself
And there's no-one else
You just have yourself
And you tell yourself
Just to hold on
Hold on, world
World, hold on
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna see the light
Oh, and when you're one
Really one
Well, you get things done
Like they've never been done
So hold on

John Lennon Hold On Comments
This is a travesty. The 2010 re-masters cut the guitar lick at the beginning. Here is the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLOTD7wrbtQ
This song got me through some dark moments in my life. Just hold on, it's gonna be alright.
The bit were John randomly said "COOKIE" made me jump lol
Long time Beatles and solo(s) fan, why did I just find this song in 2019? It's his best solo song and as great as any of his best Beatles work.
Beats me how you missed it. Its of the best tracks on arguably his best solo album, Plastic Ono Band.
Hold on John
John hold on
Its gonna be alright
You gonna win the fight
Hold on yoko
Yoko hold on
Its gonna be alright
Your gonna make the fight
When your by yourself
And there's no one else
You just have yourself
And you tell yourself
Just to hold on
(cookie cookie)
Hold on world
World hold on
Its gonna be alright
Your gonna see the light
Oh and when your one
Really one
Well you get things done
Like they've never be done
So hold on
R.I.P
39 years today...
Love nature and keep our eyes to God
That shit made me jump out of my bed. 1:06
Ok but what if during the second half on the song John said “Hold on, Paul”
camhas_spicymemes The McLennon people would go mad lol
I wish the song was at least 20 more mins😔😁😆
I thought it was going to break into 'Don't Let Me Down' after that initial riff.
Parent: "What do you want for diner sweetie?"
Child: 1:06
It is almost identical to don't let me down
Mooi voor zijn vrouw..cookie!! Loll
Classic song, this should have millions of views, i think fans should listen to him more on here :-)
John will guide us in to LIGHT
Huge inspiration for Houndmouth and it shows
One of those songs you wish was longer but you know if it was it wouldn’t have that same magic to it every time you listen to it
Hold on world
World hold on, it’s gonna be alright
Your gonna see the light ✌️
Temazo de gran lennon que paz descanse
Cookie sounds more like Cocaine
Dear John, I did a cover of your beautiful track. I know you can hear me x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTMk7_UVQlQ
Hold on John , John Hold on
힘내 존, 힘내 존
It's gonna be alright
괜찮아질 거야
You gonna win the fight
싸움에서 이겨낼 거야
Hold on Yoko , Yoko hold on
힘내 요코, 힘내 요코
It's gonna be alright
괜찮아질 거야
You gonna make the flight
비행기 탈 수 있을 거야
When you'r by yourself
혼자 남겨졌을 때
And there's no-one else
아무도 주위에 없을 때
You just tell yourself
스스로에게 그냥 말하지
To hold on
힘내
Hold on world , world hold on
세상아 힘내, 세상아 힘내
It's gonna be alright
괜찮아질 거야
You gonna see the light
빛을 볼 수 있을 거야
When you're one
넌 하나인데
really one
정말 하나 뿐인데
You get things done
성취를 하게 되지
like they've never been done
전과는 완전히 다르게/성취를 해본 적이 없는 것처럼
So hold on
그러니까 힘내
I was like vibing hard to this then "cookie" made me jump
97000 views is just sad.
The drums sound so good on this. Nice textures.
Of course it does, it's ringo
John Lennon is a wonderful musician, and lyricist, but god-dammit, what is wrong with the guy that he has to mention yoko in every one of his fucking songs ... what an asshole. I wonder if he thought that was the only way she would be impressed enough with him or something ... it's creepy. All these great tunes that really no one else can sing because who the hell is going to sing about Yoko Ono. Anyway , just venting, it really bugs me.
Agreed! I do love the songs The Ballad of John & Yoko and Oh Yoko, but it definitely feels creepy to me too. The song is still fantastic ofc
This was John's first recording at Sesame Street studios.
So what?
"cookie". cracks me up everytime. <3
Some people say John invented the death metal style of singing at that moment! : ))
John Lennon: Vocals, Guitar.
Klaus Voorman: Bass.
Ringo Starr: Drums.
The guitar solo on this song in my aesthetic..
aguantajuan
Hold on John
잠깐 존
John hold on, it's gonna be alright
존 기다려 괜찮아질거야
You're gonna win the fight
넌 싸움에서 이길거여
Hold on Yoko
잠깐 요코
Yoko hold on, it's gonna be alright
요코 기다려 괜찮아질거야
You gonna make the flight
넌 날아오를거야
When you're by yourself
너 혼자 일때
And there's no one else
아무 사람도 없을때
You just have yourself
단지 혼자일때
And you tell yourself
스스로에게 말해
Just to hold on
그냥 기다리라고
Hold on world
잠깐 세상아
World hold on, it's gonna be alright
세상아 기다려 괜찮아질거야
You're gonna see the light
넌 빛을 볼거야
Oh, and when you're one
너 혼자 일때
Really one
정말 유일하게
Well you get things done
넌 일을 끝내야해
Like they never been done
절대 끝나지 않을거 같은 걸
So hold on
그러니 기다려
From Wikipedia: In the middle of the song, Lennon mutters the word "cookie", imitating the Cookie Monster from the US children's television show Sesame Stree
They...they left off the T?
@jps8080 i mean its wikipedia so maybe
Wiki-stank is one of the most unreliable, lying, marxist websites in the whole world, which is why students are not allowed to use it. Look at the nasty, smelly little hiding-out clique who call themselves its "editors" -- most of whom have no credentials whatsoever, except that they spend their days in their mommy's basement, blocking and censoring non-marxists. They are no better than book-burners, which is why they are shunned by real researchers and real academia. The Wiki-stank "editors" have blocked my client authors, who are REAL published scholars, just for writing the honest truth, especially when it comes to history! You can't trust Wiki-stank or anything on it.
Bizarre lyric from a bizarre guy. Love him
@David B ok then, unhinged guy
One of John's many hidden gems. This is possibly his best solo song. I never did get the "cookie" part. What did he mean by it?
I had heard John (in an interview) talking about how much Television he watched while visiting the states and that he loved Seseme street. And so that's John imitating "Cookie Monster" from Seseme Street.
He loved playing with words.
I’m assuming this song was made inspired by being really high and experiencing paranoia, so the cookie might remind him of the Cookie Monster, something for him to grasp to familiarize himself to a safe reality
La canción no está completa , al inicio falta una pequeña parte
i needed to hear this right now. I wish John was here...but his words and music still guide me--just hold on!
Hold on John
John hold on, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna win the fight
Hold on Yoko
Yoko hold on, it's gonna be alright
You gonna make the flight
When you're by yourself
And there's no one else
You just have yourself
And you tell yourself
Just to hold on
Hold on world
World hold on, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna see the light
Oh, and when you're one
Really one
Well you get things done
Like they never been done
So hold on
You forget the COCKIE
i am ever astounded by the self centered totally unaware bullshit this cunt spewed out. its never ending.
explain?
"Cookie" ok didn't expect that.
Some people say John invented the death metal style of singing at that moment! : ))
Aguanta..... mundo .. aguanta...
That “cookie” bit scared me when I first heard it!
Some people say John invented the death metal style of singing at that moment! : ))
Same man

Jaja 😂
You put a Van Gogh painting in you image logo? How cool but why? Must like him!
My favorite song on the Plastic Ono Band album
C O O K I E
dude I was so scared hearing this,, my dog named Cookie came up next to me as it played in th song like wtf I thought I was hearing voices
(cookie)
The first thing that came into my head before I looked at the comments.
there is no cookie, yolk just ate geeges cookie
I read somewhere that John was obsessed with Cookie Monster and sometimes would just shout out "Cookie!". Ringo references John's predilection for this word in his song "Early 1970".
Anyone cry to this beautiful master piece?
Im tryin to hold on, i really am
make sure you keep on trying man :)
Hold On, John. John, Hold On.
Enquanto Deus me permitir continuarei a escutar os Beatles.
Love Lennon
I was listening to this song while experiencing ego death on lsd, it was intense but this song really helped me through it.
currently on shrooms man
i feel it ✌️✨
@ackward If you were on shrooms you wouldn't dare even look at your phone, much less go on it.
@Apollo Alexandre honestly yeah after doing it a few times i know that now
but i do just use it to listen to music
and stuff , not to surf the web tho . o god no :'(
@ackward First time I took shrooms, 4 hours in, I discovered my phone and it scared me. Looked like alien technology, too unnatural. And the power it had over people was really frightening. Can't go on that while you're going through ego death.
1:07 yum 😋
The beginning sounds a lot like "Don't Let Me Down"
Sun king
Same guy wrote and sang them.
The Fidget Spinner Movie Look at me sounds intro sounds like I’m so tired and the rest of the acoustic guitar sounds like Julia.
Early pitch for new world order
Now we know where Mac DeMarco got his main inspiration from.
he said his inspirations were johh and grateful dead mostly, also japan artists like haruomi hosono
believe me from the first time that i heard that song on spotify
i thought that i must write something like this on youtube comment's
but you were faster than me hehe !!
have a good day my friend !!
And everybody hold on
Hahaha yeah especially the “COOKIE” part totally reminded me of some stuff Mac would do and was def inspired by John
@Haiden Gerstner hes like mac reincarnated
wtf 1:06 did he just say cookie or cocain?
Why?😂
Strawberry fields97 Sesame Street!
He was impersonating Cookie Monster and when David played this record for him when he was over the apartment, David scratches his head too and he wrote a letter to Lennon and Yoko.
He said " cookie"
John Lennon is my favorite person
EVER!!!!!
Grace Gorman as are all human beings
@Haiden Gerstner look up all the big names back then, most of those males did abuse their partners - cheating hitting passing the girls around, read about them and the women in that circle, and then read about the musicians here: I recently found out how Tammi Terrell one of the best singers of Motown was treated, Tina Turner wasn't alone here or across the pond. I can't give any excuse though there are legit mental reasons for that type of rage and fame drugs all the sex they wanted..horrible how they were behind the scenes, so easy to call them "pieces of shit now."
creative people writing beautiful songs, fun songs...I wouldn't trade being them for anything, maybe some have made some peace with how they treated those who loved them..I sure hope so, cause the guilt must be horrendous to try and suppress or make excuses. I think of them at least back then and now we're all in our 60's or 70's. Can't forget what I know hope they have those who have forgiven.
@Haiden Gerstner Lies, lies, lies...
Grace Gorman Everyone is flawed, cunt
too bad
thank you, John.
john, thank yooou :)
Such a short song, but it's arguably my favorite lennon song
Pacquette Lauss Definitely in my top 10 of his solo work. Great for relaxing.
