Holding back the years Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of pater Hoping for the arm of mater Get to me the sooner or later oh Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I know Holding back the tears There's nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could yeah oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on So tight Well I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Cause nothing ever could oh oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding holding holding Ah la la la la la la I say wo yeah That's all I have today It's all I have to say
