Hold On (Kansas song)
"Hold On" is a single by the progressive rock band Kansas. It was the band's 13th single, eighth top 100 hit, and fifth top 40 hit, peaking at number 40. The song was first released on the 1980 album "Audio-Visions", which was the last album recorded with the original band before Steve Walsh left. The song was written by Kerry Livgren to try to convince his wife to convert to Christianity along with him, which proved successful and the couple have remained active in their faith ever since. It was further re-released on  several compilation and live albums, including "The Best of Kansas", "The Kansas Boxed Set", "The Ultimate Kansas", "", "Live at the Whisky", and the CD/DVD combos of "Device, Voice, Drum", "Works in Progress", and "There's Know Place Like Home". An orchestral version of the song appears on the album "Always Never the Same", recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.
