"Hold Back The Darkness" lyrics - STYX

People back home, wondering how have you been
It's been 29 days, have you gone out and made any friends?
Do you need any money, is there anything else we can send?
Please tell us you've stayed away from the darkness again

I wonder if you've ever known how it feels to be free
Well, one thing's for sure, you don't know what it's like to be me
I'm trying to break free from these chains, won't you give me a break?
Now, you just got to give me a chance to make my own mistakes

And I feel no pain
Nothing can touch me, and I'm gonna win
And I'm not holding back, not reining it in
You hold back the darkness, and I'll see the sun rise again

[Guitar solo]

And I feel no pain
Nothing can touch me, and I'm gonna win
And I'm not holding back, not reining it in
You hold back the darkness, and we'll all see the sun rise again
