Story Behind The Song
I just turned 35 this past year, and am half of my parents' age. "35" deals with my perspective on faith, love, life, and eventually, death (in a positive, introspective light!)

Lyrics
Alive, yes I am
A pawn in the plan
Half-way to where I'm goin', half-way from start to end
35 and holdin' and lookin' 'round the bend
I hope when it's my time
I crash through the finish line
Body torn and tattered, soul without regret
Though I'm 35 and holdin', that's how I'll go, I bet
Am I doin' what I'm supposed to do?
Am I livin' how I should?
Held captive by my rhetoric
I'd believe me if I could
I believe the answer lies
Somewhere far beyond my eyes
Half-way to where I'm goin', to where the journey ends
35 and holdin' and lookin' 'round the bend
Half-way to where I'm goin', to where the journey begins
35 and holdin' and lookin' 'round the bend
Yeah, I'm 35 and holdin'...
