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
