Exhaled all the bitterness of my broken dreams in the broken air
Time moved on as I watched my breath escape from me in a cold blank stare
Sorry’s such a fatal word
Punishment in this life absurd
Flowing aimlessly in the world
A rebel with a cause and the cause is love
So I’m holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my
Heart beats fast enraged with passion
History never dies
Never dies
Oh well
Can’t erase the broken glass
Sweep up the pieces and mop up the tears
Dazzle in the distance twinkles in the night
Dawn in the Breaking look into the light
Dawn in the Breaking look into the light
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my heart
Oh
When I little I dreamed of a world free from repression for everyone
When I grew up I saw world was different and what is different is hated on
So I’ll hold on to my heart in hopes that one day we will all feel free
To be all of harmony and live out our wildest dreams
So I’m holding on to my heart
I’ll keep holding on to my heart
To my heart
To my heart
To my heart
