Holding Back The Years 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 meet her sooner of later I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding back the years Chance for me escape from all I've known Holding back the years Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on That's all I have today That's all I have to say
