This is at the colgate country showdown a few years back.
We were born with wings to fly But sometimes we cant reach that high Cause it feels like the sky is falling down Against the odds, against the rain You dig your heels in to slow that train So many wishes in the lost and found One little thing can turn it all around
Holding on to a dream Trying to keep hope alive You can reach out to me You can reach down deep inside When the whole worlds gone insane A ray of light remains The days you know it seems Sometimes the hardest thing is Holding on to a dream
At times you win, at times you lose Sometimes life puts a rock in your shoe But something in you keeps you walking on (miley comes in) Leave the fear and doubt in the past Just believe, dont look back
Holding on to a dream Trying to keep hope alive You can reach out to me You can reach down deep inside When the whole worlds gone insane A ray of light remains The days you know it seems Sometimes the hardest thing is Holding on to a dream
Feels like an endless fight All up hill, but thats all right
Over twenty years ago, my daddy was a contestant in the showdown his dream was to stand on stage and share his music with the world sometimes the road to your dreams gets rough and you might feel like giving up and letting go my dad didn′t let go and neither did these contestants
Holding on to a dream Trying to keep hope alive You can reach out to me You can reach down deep inside When the whole worlds gone insane A ray of light remains The days you know it seems Sometimes the hardest thing is Holding on to a dream Ohh Yeah
You′re not alone together we stand i′ll be by your side you know i′ll take your hand when it gets cold and it feels like the end theres no place to go you know i wont give in no i wont give in.
Chorus :
Keep holding on ′cause you know we′ll make it through, we′ll make it through just stay strong cause you know i′m here for you, i′m here for you theres nothing you could say, nothing you could do theres no other way when it comes to the truth so keep holding on cause you know we′ll make it through, we′ll make it through.
So far away i wish you were here before it′s too late this could all disapear before the doors close, and it comes to an end with you by my side i will fight and defend, i′ll fight and defend yeah yeah.
Chorus :
Hear me when i say, when i say i believe nothings gonna change, nothings gonna change destiny what ever is ment to be will work out perfectly yeah yeah yeah yeah ladadada.
Once again i′m falling to my knees (I try to escape cause i just can′t take it) Now this feeling is spreading like a disease (I fake another day and the wheel keeps turning) This place is so pathetic Doesn′t anybody get it Is there anybody home? Is there anybody home? There′s nothing left. We′re just a shadow of what we used to be
[chorus] In the night there′s a fire in my eyes And this paradise has become a place we′ve come to cry. When i open your letter the words makes it better it takes it all away whoaoh it keeps me holding On whoaoh it keeps me holding on
Here we are preteding we′re ok (you can say what you want but you still can′t fool me) The life we′re living It′s all masquerade (i try to smile but i can′t remember how) So how did we get so jaded Is it so complicated To not give up to me?
[chorus] In the night there′s a fire in my eyes And this paradise has become a place we′ve come to cry. When i open your letter the words makes it better it takes it all away whoaoh it keeps me holding On
[bridge] Whenever i need you Whenever i run to I know where to find you It keeps me holding on Whenever i need you Whenever i run to I know where to find you On You keep me holding on You keep me holding on whoaoh
[chorus] In the night there′s a fire in my eyes And this paradise has become a place we′ve come to cry. When i open your letter the words makes it better it takes it all away whoaoh it keeps me holding On
[bridge] Whenever i need you Whenever i run to I know where to find you It keeps me holding on Whenever i need you Whenever i run to I know where to find you It keeps me holding on
How′d I let it get this far What was going through my mind Why′d you seem to have it all Yet you′re not mine Started off as just good friends Still we always step the line Coz falling for you was so easy Ohh..
You′re everything I want You′re everything I need You′re everything I want my girl to be And even though I know You′re in someone else′s heart I can′t bare to be apart See I′ve fallen for you And I′ve gotta let you go And I know that I have got to Find a way to get on with my life
I don′t wanna let you go (let you go) But it′s killing me inside (inside) How can I just carry on I need some piece of mind (need some piece of mind) How do I just move along (along) And ignore the love so strong (so strong) So until I see this through I′ll be holding on to you How′d I let it get this far What was going through my mind Why′d you seem to have it all Yet you′re not mine Started off as just good friends Still we always step the line Coz falling for you was so easy Ohh..

Throughout the years with her I′ve tried To find the joy beyond the pain But when the words and tears subside Girl it′s still the same And I can′t look into her eyes Without thinking about you See I′ve tried but these feelings won′t leave me No....
You′re everything I want You′re everything I dream You′re everything I want my girl to be And even though I know You′re in someone else′s arms I can′t bare to be apart See girl I fell for you And I don′t wanna say goodbye And I know that I have got to Find a way to get on with my life

I look away when he holds you For I′m afraid that I might find The look in your eyes That I see when you were mine So tell me why I′ve got to be The one to walk away And leave you there in someone else′s arms (Won′t let you go away)
I don′t wanna let you go But it′s killing me inside (killing me inside) How can I just carry on (how can I) I need some piece of mind How do I just move along And ignore the love so strong So until I see this through (till I...till I) I′ll be holding on to you

Only holding on is this what you want? is this what you want? dreams are falling apart as were only holding on ambition gets old when our hearts lie to us our hearts break our trust as were only holding on
we gave our everything we gave our everything we gave our everything all for unwanted dreams we gave our everything
lights dim down were the stars tonight their voices bring slight wind to the sky their voices sing along feel their souls lift with ours as they share the night but you sing a different song you sing a different song
only holding on is this what you want? is this what you want? dreams are falling apart as were only holding on to a broken piece we try to fit as one our hearts break our trust as were only holding on
we gave our everything we gave our everything we gave our everything all for unwanted dreams we gave our everything
