A Short Biography of This Song
 1st verse

 While others,
 Abandon ship,
 Lose their balance
 Or their grip
 And I am tempted
 To let go,
 I keep holdin'
 On to Hope
   		  2nd verse

 And with the way
 So dimly lit
 I'm afraid
 That I might slip,
 And fearing what
 I do not know,
 I keep holdin'
 On to Hope.   To chorus
 
 3rd verse

 And as I struggle
 On my way
 With each lesson,
 Come what may
 And the truth
 I face alone,
 I keep holdin'
 On to Hope.
   		  4th verse

 And with the water
 At my chin
 And it time
 To sink or swim
 Faith and dreams
 Keep me afloat
 I keep holdin'
 On to Hope.   To Chorus
 
Chorus

 I keep a holdin' on
    For a day in the sun.
 I keep holdin' on
    For one true love.
 I keep holdin' on
    For the storm to calm
 I keep holdin'....holdin' on to Hope.

 Tim Plunkett

     Tim Plunkett
     Tim has been playing music since he was about 6 years old. He says he was born
     a drummer, but his dad always had a guitar laying around, he couldnt play it,
     but there it was. Tim started playing in bands when he was about 13 or so, just
     rocking with some friends.
     When he got a little older, he started doing drum work for a large spectrum of
     bands, from every genre. (jazz, blues, funk, rock, country etc.) He says that
     he kinda took a little bit from every band he's ever been in and put it into his
     songs. Tim doesn't have a band currently and has been working a lot on his own stuff.
     He has a small studio called Echoes Productions.

     On this recording, Tim played guitars, bass and drums and sang the lead..
     Tim's friend, Kathleen Hilger sang the backup.
