Lyrics Holding back the years Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of pater Hoping for the arms of mater Get to me the sooner or later, oh Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I know Holding back the tears 'Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah, oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on, so tight Alright, oh now Well, I've wasted all my tears Wasted all of those years And nothing had the chance to be good 'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah Oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding Holding Holding Holding, la-la-la, la, la-la I said, ooh, yeah That's all I have today It's all I have to say Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:03:47 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.weidensees.net https://peertube.weidensees.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://peertube.weidensees.net/videos/watch/d124ee14-ae22-4428-b5ef-c5af88ffcdd3 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.weidensees.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
