If We Hold On Together

If We Hold On Together was the first song used in The Land Before Time film series, and the only lyrical song used in the original film. The song was written and originally performed by singer/songwriter Diana Ross. It later was performed by Anndi McAfee and Aria Noelle Curzon for a Littlefoot plushie; their version of the song also appeared in the first The Land Before Time sing-along songs video, after The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists was released. If one is to be picky, this is the anthem of the series.

Ross co-wrote the song with James Horner and Will Jennings. It is listed in her albums, A Gift of Love, and The Force Behind the Power. It was also performed by Jordin Sparks on American Idol in 2007.

Lyrics
Original verison= Diana Ross: Don't lose your way With each passing day You've come so far Don't throw it away Live believing Dreams are for weaving Wonders are waiting to start Live your story Faith, hope and glory Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever Where clouds roll by For you and I

Souls in the wind Must learn how to bend Seek out a star Hold on to the end Valley, mountain There is a fountain Washes our tears all away Words are swaying Someone is praying Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever Where clouds roll by For you and I

When we are out there in the dark We'll dream about the sun In the dark we'll feel the light Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together I know our dreams will never die Dreams see us through to forever As high as souls can fly The clouds roll by For you and I Anndi: Don't lose your way With each passing day You've come so far Don't throw it away Live believing Dreams are for weaving Wonders are waiting to start
 * -|Anndi McAfee and Aria Noelle Curzon's version=
