 2x
 I have lived  my life my way
 For tonight  and for today
 It's the strongest  hearts they say
 That always survive
 I'm fallin  through the years
 As each dream  it disappears
 When the night  is full of tears
 I'll be holdin  on
 Now this life  is instant black
 But I won't  be lookin back
 The rain  washed out the tracks
 I'll never find again
 I'm still reachin  for the light
 I'm still wearin  out the night
 And you know  I'll be alright
 I'll be holdin  on
 When I stand alone
 I don't stand on memories
 Of all the ones you've known
 I'll be holdin  on
 I know how it is
 I know how it will  be
 (When) All the rest are gone
 I'll be holdin  on
 Well my life  is made of sand
 It flows  right through my hand
 Each day  I make a stand
 And I'll see it through
 I'm still reachin  for the light
 I'm still wearin  out the night
 And you know  I'll be alright
 I'll be holdin  on
 When I stand alone
 I don't stand on memories
 Of all the ones you've known
 I'll be holdin  on
 I know how it is
 I know how it will  be
 (When) All the rest are gone
 I'll be holdin  on
 When I stand alone
 I don't stand on memories
 Of all the ones you've known
 I'll be holdin  on
 I know how it is
 I know how it will  be
 (When) All the rest are gone
 I'll be holdin  on . . . .
