I'm gonna hold on 'Cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long,no one can tell me I'm wrong,I ain't goin' down
I had a baby at fifteen Daddy never did forgive me I never heard from the guy again, oh I had to drop outta high school Everybody treated me so cruel But I didn't give in and give her away I'm gonna hold on 'Cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long,no one can tell me I'm wrong,I ain't goin' down
Her smile got me through the day And every night I'd pray I could give her enough At night, I'd lie awake and cry Hoping we'd get by 'Cause you can't live on love I worked night and day to keep us goin' Through the sweat and tears without her knowing It was worth it just to watch her grow Oh, oh At least I was able to hold her Whenever she needed my shoulder I'm so glad I never let her go Oh, I'm gonna hold on 'Cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long,no one can tell me I'm wrong,I ain't goin' down
Her smile got me through the years Dried away the tears It filled me with hope At night, I'd lie awake and cry Prayed we would get by And for the courage to go, oh
