You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold

And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No, I won't give in

[Chorus]
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear

Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side, I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

[Chorus]

Keep holding on

Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

    General Comment:To me, this song is about tough times.
    "keep standing strong."
    stay strong
    "I'm here for you."
    Your here for them
    It could be about a couple going though tough times. Or just two friends, or just one person, wanting someone to help them though the pain
    Just my opinion haters

    General Comment:You're not alone
    Together we stand
    I'll be by your side
    You know I'll take your hand
    When it gets cold
    And it feels like the end
    There's no place to go
    You know I won't give in
    No, I won't give in

    --> it's basically about a relationship between a boy & a girl.

    Keep holding on
    Cause you know we'll make it through
    We'll make it through
    Just stay strong
    Cause you know I'm here for you
    I'm here for you
    There's nothing you can say
    Nothing you can do
    There's no other way when it comes to the truth
    So keep holding on
    Cause you know we'll make it through
    We'll make it through

    -->i think it's about the hard times they're going thru and she knows they will go thru the hard times, so just keep holding on and don't break up

    So far away
    I wish you were here
    Before it's too late
    This could all disappear
    Before the door's closed
    And it comes to an end
    -->i think its about a relationship and the distance and before the door's closed=before the feelings dissapear.

    With you by my side
    I will fight and defend
    I'll fight and defend, yeah, yeah
    .
    .
    .
    Hear me when I say
    When I say I believe.
    Nothing's gonna change
    Nothing's gonna change destiny
    Whatever's meant to be
    Will work out perfectly
    --> like "if we were meant to be, we are meant to be and nothing can change that so don't let anything break us apart".

    My Opinion:Il start by saying im really not an Avril fan at all, infact il be honest and say i normally cant stand her. But theres just something about this song that i can really relate to.

    I think most people can relate to this in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship sense, but for me its my relationship between myself and my best friend. I moved and we now live in different cities but we speak all the time. He has Bipolar disorder and its sometimes a struggle to make him see how much of a wonderful person he really is. I tell him how im always here for him, that when he feels like killing himself that hes not alone and i stay strong and fight for him when he cant do it for himself.

    This song just speaks to me.

    General Comment:I can't begin to express what this song means to me. There have been a lot of battles in my life that I've had to overcome and battles that others around me have faced. This song is so strong, inspirational and true that I cry everytime I hear it. Avril has always been one of my favorite artists, and with songs like this, she's helped numerous people overcome a lot of things and Keep Holding On.

    General Comment:My friend is in hospital, being operated on today, she is in real danger and she might really die. this song just shows how we're all there for her and she needs to hold on to her life because we all love her so much.

    General Comment:It is an allright song I'll admit, but it pisses me off SO much when I see her getting credit for tunes that she stole from my favourite band - My Chemical Romance.
    Grrrr.
