People said I'd never make it

they said I'd never see it through

but they don't know what keeps me going

I guess they never have met you

my life was in shambles

until the day you came along

you turned my tears into laughter

Lord you gave me a brand new song



CHORUS



I'm still holding on

Lord I'll never let you go

You gave me a smile

You touched my heart you touched my soul

and the bridges that's behind me

Lord I burn them to the ground

I'm still holding on

to the best thing I ever found



Voted likely not to prosper

was left hanging 'ore my head

you'll never count for nothing

that's what most people said

I've been known to be unsettled

I never stayed around too long

but Lord you're the treasure I've been searching for 

and Lord I'm still holding on
