Daniel prayed so earnestly
But nothing seemed to change
I know his heart was troubled
By the twenty-first day
But God send down an angel
Said, "He heard your every plea
He's been taking care of business
He's mindful of your need"

Hold on a little longer
For the answer's on the way
Hold on a little longer
Heaven heard you when you prayed
The adversary fought you
I know you couldn't see
But reinforcements showed up
And wrought a victory
Hold on, child
For your answer's on the way
Yeah, yeah

You might be in a conflict
Struggling for your life
Like Job, you feel forsaken
In the middle of the fight
But rest assured, you're not alone
For God goes with you
Just step aside, out of His way
And let deliverance through
Hold on a little longer
For the answer's on the way
I said, hold on a little longer
Heaven heard you when you prayed
The adversary fought you
I know you couldn't see
But reinforcements showed up
And wrought a victory
Hold on, child
For your answer's on the way

Hey, hey, hold on a little longer
For your answer's on the way
Hold on a little longer
Heaven heard you when you prayed
The adversary fought you
But I know you couldn't see
But reinforcements showed up
And wrought a victory
Hold on
For your answer's on the way
Hold on, child
For your answer's on the way

Oh, child, it's on
Yes, it's on the way
Just hold on
Yeah, hold on a little longer
For your answer's on the way
I said, hold on a little longer
Heaven heard you when you prayed
The adversary fought you
But I know you couldn't see
But reinforcements showed up
And they wrought a victory
Hold on, child
For your answer's on the way
Hold on, child
Your answer's on the way

Oh, child it's on
I said, it's on the way, yeah
