Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk this long road
All by myself
your pain and pity save for someone else
As seasons change, I keep pushing to break this cage
these wolves and snakes, who will be saved
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’ve been fighting, for this my whole damn life
And I’m still climbing this ladder to stay alive
And I’m barely surviving, holes in my shoes and shirt
Not gonna back down, not gonna turn to dirt
[Chorus]
Can’t hold me back, I’m going my own way
Can’t hold me back, I’ve Said goodbye to yesterday
Can’t hold me back, non-stop until I reach the sun
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
[Verse 2]
I’m getting older can’t buy more time
The end is nearing, Is just a state of mind
You tell that Reaper he can have me when I’m done
not a moment early, not til I’ve won
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I’ve been fighting, for this my whole damn life
And I’m still climbing this ladder to stay alive
And I’m barely surviving, holes in my shoes and shirt
Not gonna back down, not gonna turn to dirt
[Chorus]
Can’t hold me back, I’m going my own way
Can’t hold me back, I’ve Said goodbye to yesterday
Can’t hold me back, non-stop until I reach the sun
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
[Bridge]
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Can’t hold me back
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Can’t hold me back
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Can’t hold me back
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na
[Chorus]
Can’t hold me back, I’m going my own way
Can’t hold me back, I’ve Said goodbye to yesterday
Can’t hold me back, non-stop until I reach the sun
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
I’m Singing
Na Na Na Na Na Na NaNa Na Na
Can’t hold me back, can’t hold me back
Can’t hold me
