Holding Back the Years

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


I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on


Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I know

Holding back the tears

'Cause nothing here has grown, no


I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good


Nothing ever could

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on so tight


I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

And nothing had the chance to be good

'Cause nothing ever could


I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Holding, holding, holding, yeah


I say it's all I have today

It's all I have to say
