still holding on

when i was young i was sure i never could grow old

i was gonna climb mountains

sail the seas

go searchin for gold

but those years come creeping in and the journey gets so long

i don't spring back like i used too - but i'm still holding on

holding on to what i believe in - be it right or wrong

holding on to my dreams and my crazy schemes yes i'm still holding on

thought i'd found true love - i was sure it never could end

i was blinded by the light in her eyes

couldn't see round the bend

then one night she said good bye - i turned around she was gone

shook my head - shed my tears - but i'm still holding on

holding on to believing that love is a good thing - even though she's gone

holding on to my dreams and my crazy schemes yes i'm still holding on

oh at night when the cold wind blows - and my collar is pulled up high

i'm all alone in a god forsaken place - wondering why

a man only does what he must do and the journey must go on

brush myself off - laugh at the wind cause i'm still holding on

holding on to what i believe in - even though it's wrong

holding on to my dreams and my crazy schemes yes i'm still holding on

holding on to what i believe in - be it right or wrong

holding on to my dreams and my crazy schemes yes i'm still holding on
