I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
It's the strongest hearts they say
That always survive

I'm fallin through the years
As each dream it disappears
When the night is full of tears
I'll be holdin on

Now this life is instant black
But I won't be lookin back
The rain washed out the tracks
I'll never find again

I'm still reachin for the light
I'm still wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holdin on

When I stand alone
I don't stand on memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holdin on

I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone
I'll be holdin on

Well my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hand
Each day I make a stand
And I'll see it through

I'll be reachin for the light
I'll be wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holdin on

When I stand alone
I don't stand on memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holdin on

I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the
rest are gone

I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone

I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone
I'll be holdin on
