I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
Just the strongest hearts, they say
Always survive

And Im fallin through the years
All these dreams disappear
And the night is full of tears
Ill be holding on

Now this life is etched in black
And I wont be looking back
The rain washed away the tracks
Ill never find again

Im still reachin for the light
Im still usin up the night
And you know Ill be alright
Ill be holding on

Chorus

When I stand alone
I dont need no memories
All the rest are gone
Ill be holding on

I know how it is
I dont steal no memories
Of all the ones you know
Ill 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

Ive been reachin for the light
Ive been usin up the night
And you know Ill be alright
Ill be holding on

When I stand alone
I dont need no memories
Of all the ones you know
Il be holding on

When I stand alone
I dont need no memories
When all the rest are gone
Ill be holding on
