But down the road the sun is shining In every cloud there's a silver lining Just keep holding on (just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you stronger But it won't be much longer You'll find love, you'll find peace And the you you're meant to be

There's your trouble There's your trouble, there's your trouble You keep seeing double with the wrong one You can't see I love you, you can't see she doesn't But you just keep holding on Should have all worked out But it didn't She should be here now But

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

I'll be here Come back, come back I've been wishin' out the days If I keep holding out Will the light shine through? Under this broken roof It's only rain that I feel

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

But down the road the sun is shining In every cloud there's a silver lining Just keep holding on (just keep holding on) And every heartache makes you stronger But it won't be much longer You'll find love, you'll find peace And the you you're meant to be

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

And this hope That keep me holding on That makes me carry on You can never give up She said, "Son there'll be times when the tides are high And the boat may be rocky, you can cry Just never give up

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

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
