Holding On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now ever since I first made the decision to change It's been a painful journey of deep incisions and flames And broken bones and swallowed dreams and division of thought An emotional roller coaster from this ticket I bought I've just been a victim of my pride for too long, and I said no And I gave up, and I turned back, and I went forth, and I let go How many times from that moment would I lye There alone under that blind, dark and lonely winter sky? If I could've only looked back Fulfill what lacked in my past Maybe I'd have a good life I could just sit back and relax Without a worry in mind Without a thought in the world If I could've sent me a sign right before all this unfurled Then maybe I wouldn't be here now, and I wouldn't be alone And everything wouldn't disappear that I thought I had known If I could go back I'd turn this song around But I can't can I now? [Hook] I'm holding on (oh lord, oh my God) I'm holding on (turn this song around, but I can't can I now?) I'm holding on (oh lord, oh my God) I'm holding on (oh lord) [Verse 2] I pointed fingers at others in an attempt to uphold The certain code my mother told me showed of the soul But I was wrong, and so was she And at the expense of the friends who I loved Who I left on the fence from the sins that I judged when my own were the worst As I strove to uphold what I was told in the church I was cold and I hurt How I'd close every wound if allowed But I can't, can I now? [Hook] I'm holding on (oh lord, oh my God) I'm holding on (oh lord, oh my God) I'm holding on (oh lord, oh my God) I'm holding on (oh lord) [Bridge] When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" When all is gone And I'm still holding on You can come along Everybody say "But we can't, can we now?" [Outro] And I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed
