Holding Back the Years

Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

And when somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of haters

Longing for the arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

A chance for me to escape from all I've known

Holding back the tears

'Cause nothing here has grown

But I've wasted all my tears

I've wasted all these years

Nothing had the chance to be good

And nothing ever could

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I've wasted all my tears

I've wasted all these years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on
