To jene I've always loved this song and I even used to sing it as a child at and I know my parents in the crowd were so proud.
Now my heart breaks with you, I lost my own child almost 5 years ago and it never stops hurting. My daughter Winter was five weeks old and I loved her more than I knew was possible. I know your pain and I pray your son and my daughter are waiting for us both as we keep holding on xxx
This song was sad and hopeful all at the same time. He never gave up. When listening to this song it really makes you think how did this really happen. Will always jam this one and the music is so lovely.

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
Holding back the tears
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
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on, so tight
Well I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding
Holding
Holding
Holding
I said
It's all I have today
It's all I have to say
