Why do I keep holding on

Why do I keep holding on, When the nights are endless and the days are gone? When the shadows stretch and swallow the dawn, Why do I keep holding on?In the silence, the echoes scream, Shattering the fragments of a broken dream. In the darkness, no light can gleam, Why do I keep holding on?Every step is a burden, heavy and slow, Through a landscape of sorrow, where nothing can grow. With a heart that's numb, and tears that flow, Why do I keep holding on?Perhaps it's the hope, fragile and slight, A whisper of dawn in the depths of night. Or the memory of love, distant and bright, That keeps me holding on, clinging tight.Maybe it's the promise of a better day, A faint glimmer of light that shows the way. In the midst of the pain, come what may, I'll keep holding on, come what may.
