The song began with Pink singing alone; she was then joined by Kelly. The song\u2019s lyrics have perhaps never been so poignant as they are right now. In a year full of division, these words remind us that we\u2019re not alone, we all grieve together as one nation, and we need to \u201chold on\u201d in the face of darkness and tragedies.<\/p>\n

Sometimes everything is wrong
\nNow it\u2019s time to sing along
\nWhen your day is night alone (hold on)
\n(Hold on) if you feel like letting go (hold on)
\nIf you think you\u2019ve had too much
\nOf this life
\nWell, hang on<\/div>\n
\u2018Cause everybody hurts
\nTake comfort in your friends
\nEverybody hurts
\nDon\u2019t throw your hand
\nOh, no
\nDon\u2019t throw your hand
\nIf you feel like you\u2019re alone
\nNo, no, no, you\u2019re not alone<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
