About this song

A little anthem of holding on

Some songs are made for the hard days, the ones where a child needs to hear that things will be okay. Hold On is exactly that: a warm, simple, kid-friendly song about staying strong, staying kind, and not giving up.

This is the children's version, shaped so that even the youngest singers can join in on the chorus.

What the song is about

Courage, kindness, and never giving up

The song gently reminds children that everyone feels small sometimes, and that holding on, helping each other, and hoping are all part of being brave. It belongs to the world of JEWISH, RIGLI's growing songbook of new Jewish songs.
