Once upon a time, not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay, someday"
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh, we've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh

[@gunneloberg3361]

[@YavorM-Yash]

Even more.

[@SakuraEtsu2007]

In some cases more!

[@Roberto-ld7sg]

Erik is THE BEST FRONTMAN in hard rock in the last 20 years. H.E.A.T. made their best records with him and Skid Row has been reborn because of him and his amazing voice and live performances. Keep on rockin' Erik!!

Appreciate that Roberto, thank you!

[@fatcattn1]

Best frontman is correct. Just saw him for the first time in Paducah last night and was blown away. Full intensity start to finish. Great with the audience flirt. Serious talent.

I have tears in my eyes and my jaw is on the floor. I have the same feelings I did when I was 6 years old and hearing this song for the first time. This was perfection!!

Thanks Katie!

[@ashlynb840]

Holy shit! You can hit notes Jon could never hit (even back in the day). Cheers to you & Jona! Jona is so diverse & incredibly talented.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness!

[@sofiase7901]

Wow absolutely amazing ❤🤘👋

[@Slask7]

Jon could hit those notes back in the day, but he stressed the hell out his vocal chords in the 80s and during the last tours of that decade his voice was KO; he couldn't sing the song in the original record tuning anymore. Luckily he got better in the 90s, he gained more control over his voice, he had training and experience and did some of his best and most mature work, vocally speaking.

[@ashlynb840]

@@Slask7 my comment really wasn’t focusing on Jon but rather how well Erik covered the song in a most stellar way.

[@diegocll86]

Wait wait, Jon could do it in his prime baby..

So.... This is one of the most overlayed songs of all time .... But with that being said ...Erik this version is STELLAR..... Your sustained vocals are insanely good..... And your vocal range again just explodes through the speakers. .... You are beyond talent..... This is ASTOUNDING!!!

Thank you Justin! I hear you it's kind of like doing a version of Highway to hell but my buddy Jona convinced me that we should definitely release a more (for lack of a better word) 'obvious' rock anthem on this channel. I had so much fun recording this one.
