[Verse 1]
My grandfather never stopped smilin'
Nothin' I did could ever make him mad
I wish I could'a been there to hold him
When he lost everything that he had

He had a mother and father
That loved the children they raised
How could they know when they said goodbye
It'd be the last time they'd see his face

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Someday, everything I love will be gone
I don't believe in chance, I don't believe in fate
I just believe in holdin' on

[Verse 2]
I used to think I was tougher
Than anyone else around
But you never seen anyone suffer
Till you seen them put their child in the ground

Only you and I know what we've been through
Only God knows what time we got left
If we grow old together
I hope I go first so I don't have to bury anybody else
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Someday, everything I love will be gone
I don't believe in chance, I don't believe in fate
I just believe in holdin' on

[Verse 3]
I never said goodbye to my brothers
We were laughin', and then they were gone
I look both ways before crossin'
Cause I know that the current gets strong

When I was young, I was watchin'
For the cards my heroes might show
But they all took a ride in that coffin
To that one place we all gotta go

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Someday, everything I love will be gone
I don't believe in chance, I don't believe in fate
I just believe in holdin' on

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Someday, everything I love will be gone
I don't believe in chance, I don't believe in fate
I just believe in holdin' on
