Yes I’m, holding back the years
Holding back the tears I’ve had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear it’s gone
Strangled by the wishes of hatred
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me sooner or later
Holding back the years
A chance for my escape from all I’ve known
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here seems wrong
And I’ve wasted all my years
Wasted all those tears
And nothing had a chance to be good
Seems like nothing ever could
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ve wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Seems like nothing ever could, yet.
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on
I’ll keep holding on Holding, holding on, yeah
