Holding On

This boy gone six and four
Ain't the man he was before
But everyone comes to their senses
In the end
Or do they?

They say that time's a thief
They say time waits for no one
They say that what you lose in looks
You gain in weight and wisdom

I've had much love knock on my door
I don't look back in anger
Name a song, I might have sung it
Ain't a drink I have not drunk

And I'm holding on
Hold back the years
Lord, make me strong
Allay my fears
Pushing my load on up the hill
Slippery slopes I climb and still
I'm getting closer by the day now
Don't you know
Might make it to the top tomorrow
I'm holding on my Lord
I'm holding on my Lord

Life's been good to me so far
I live life for its moments
Had my share of heart break
But I wasn't born for sorrow

Though I've seen some dreams go up in smoke
The fire in me keeps on burning
And I mean to rock it til I croak it
Not for me the straight and narrow

And I'm holding on
Hold back the years
Lord, make me strong
Allay my fears
Pushing my load on up the hill
Slippery slopes been known to kill
People stronger than myself
And even so
I'll try again tomorrow

I'm holding on my Lord
Hold back the years
Make me strong
Lord, I'm holding on
I'm holding on, my Lord
Allay my fears
Take this song
Lord, I'm holding on
I'm holding on my Lord
