When I was young I was sure I never could grow old
I was gonna climb mountains and sail the seas, go searching for gold
But those years come creeping in and my journey gets so long
I don’t spring back like I used to
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 eye
I couldn’t see 'round the bend
Then one night she said goodbye
I turned around she was gone
Shook my head and shed my tears
But I’m still holding on

Holding on to believin' 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's 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 and 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, be it wrong
Holding on to my dreams and my crazy schemes
Yes I'm still holding on
