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 arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding back the years

Chance for me escape from all I've known

Holding back the tears

Cause 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, ah oh oh oh

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I`ll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

So tight

All right, oh now!

But I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all of those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah, oh yeah

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding, holding, holding aaaah la la la la la...

I say ooh, where?

That's all I have today

It's all I have to say...
