Dear life, I'm holding on Dear life, I'm holding on, uh How long must I wait Before the thrill is gone, uh You sang your swan song to the dogs 'Cause they made mincemeat of the dreams you hung your hopes on So you cut it out, well your sins cost While

Sands of all time, mystery of life Everlasting sadness through lightyears gone by Land lost in time, once more back where we belong Promises of yesterday, we'll keep holding on Rise up to the open sky One chance at the price of glory Raise your souls

I watch them all pass by The moon & the stars Let me hold you in my arms, forever more These cold nights, the park is ours Standing, by the side Let you go, oh to the sea, just for me Don't let me lose my life Keep holding on Let the modest go

I give thanks to you For being a precious friend For holding our spirits high I do thank you lord For blessing my life each day For always being there when all is said and done (Woo) To thee, do we give thanks Now hol' on, hol' on, hol' up Has anybody

I guess there's no good reason, for livin', But I'll keep on livin' for you, baby, There's nothing else to do, babe, But spend my life holding you and lovin' you If I ask you more than one million times to forgive me, You think of a reason why, That you

Holding on for life You and me just Giving up the fight Running towards the light Hoping we survive Strangers in the night Waiting to ignite If you wanted love like this Blowing up with every kiss

Where the wind blows babe I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere

And he didn't even know your name Young men come and young men go But life goes on just the same All day long he was fighting for you And I don't know why Why do we keep holding on I don't know why Pretending to be oh so strong

Something bring me right here Please see me through metaphors in blue I'm holding on for dear life I am hoping for a sign Not in a drink, not in a drift Hoping for a miracle I'm not equipped for this But I can't move until I choose I need a crystal ball

I'm holding on to a life, I'll never get back It's too hard to let go I'm on the right train but the wrong tracks Trying not to derail Nothing is like it was before I know not who I am anymore Chasing something that's behind me When will I be set free?
