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
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
