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

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

When I stand alone
I don´t need no memories
When all the rest are gone
I´ll be holding on

I know how it is
I know how it will be
All the rest are gone
But I´ll be holding on
