Holding back the years, thinking of the fear I've had so long,
When somebody hears, listen to the fear thats gone,
Strangled by the wishes of pater, hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
x2
Holding back the years, chance for me to escape from all Ive known
Holding back the tears, cause nothing here has grown
Ive wasted all my tears, wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good, nothing ever could yeah whoa
Ill keep holding on, Ill keep holding on
Ill keep holding on, Ill keep holding on
So tight oh now
Well Ive wasted all my tears, wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good, Cause' nothing ever could yeah
Ill keep holding on, Ill keep holding on
Ill keep holding on, Ill keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding_________
Thats all I have today
Its all I have to say
