they said i would'nt make it
They said i would'nt be here today
said i'd never amount to anything
but i'm glad to say that i'm on my way
and I'm growing more&more each day
there were many peaple that started out
with me, but now they've gone stray

but i'm still holding on
i'm still holding on
i'm still holding on to his hand

You see when when i was young i gave god my hand
and i told him to lead the way
but the road has been rough and going's been mighty tough
but i aint going nowhere i'm out here to stay
Though i've been talked about and oh i've been criticized
i've had to wipe many tears from my eyes

but i'm still holding on
i'm still holding on
i'm still holding on
to hand
