I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
Just the strongest hearts, they say
Always survive
And i'm fallin' through the years
All these dreams disappear
And the night is full of tears
I'll be holding on
Now this life is etched in black
And i won't be looking back
The rain washed away the tracks
I'll never find again
I'm still reachin' for the light
I'm still usin' up the night
And you know i'll be alright
I'll be holding on
Chorus
When i stand alone
I don't need no memories
All the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
I know how it is
I don't steal no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'll be holding on
And my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hand
Each day i make a stand
And i see it through
I've been reachin' for the light
I've been usin' up the night
And you know i'll be alright
I'll be holding on
When i stand alone
I don't need no memories
Of all the ones you know
I'l be holding on
When i stand alone
I don't need no memories
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
