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



Chorus



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
