Holding on to a Dream
Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes we can't reach that high
â??Cause it feels like the sky is falling down
Against the odds, against the rain
You dig your heels in to slow that train
So many wishes in the lost and found
One little thing can turn it all around
[Chorus]
Holding on to a dream
Trying to keep hope alive
You can reach out to me
You can reach down deep inside
When the whole world's gone insane
A ray of light remains
The days you know it seems
Sometimes the hardest thing is
Holding on to a dream
At times you win, at times you lose
Sometimes life puts a rock in your shoe
But something in you keeps you walking on
Leave the fear and doubt in the past
Just believe, don't look back
[Chorus]
Feels like an endless fight
All up hill, but that's all right
[Chorus]
