I'll be holding on (from Black Rain)
By Gregg Allman
------------------------------------


I have lived my life my way
Fought the night and fought the day
It's the strongest hearts they say
That always survives

I'm falling through the years
As each dream it disappears
When the night is full of tears
I'll be holding on

Now this life is etched in black
But I wont be looking back
The rain washed out the tracks
I'll never find again

I'm still reaching for the light
I'm still wearing out the night
You know I'll be all right
I'll be holding on

When I stand alone
I don't stand no memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holding on

I know how it is
I know how it will be
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on

And my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hands
Each day I make a stand
And I'll see it through

I'll be reaching for the light
I'll be wearing out the night
You know I'll be all right
I'll be holding on

When I stand alone
I don't stand no memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holding on

I know how it is
I know how it will be
When all the rest are gone
I'll be holding on
