There are mountains to climb
Sunken treasures to find
I'm not wasting my time
'Cause since I was 17 I've known
That there are doors that are closed
To those who only say no
They have nowhere to grow
With everything that they were dreaming of
But now I'm not letting go
And this is how it goes
When the wildest rivers rise
There's a sparkle in my eyes
Always guides me out of the dark
'Cause I've got an iron heart
Sometimes life is a test
A dagger into your chest
But I won't settle for less
Than everything I've ever wanted now
And I'm not letting go
And this is how it goes
When the wildest rivers rise
There's a sparkle in my eyes
Always guides me out of the dark
And this is how I know
That whatever they may scream
They can never steal my dream
Now I'm ready to fall
'Cause I've got an iron heart
Hey! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause I've got an iron heart
Hey! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Now this is the place where all the wild ones go
Everyone who has a heart that's tough on the outside
On the inside, they know
That this is how it goes
When the wildest rivers rise
There's a sparkle in my eyes
Always guides me out of the dark
And this is how I know
That whatever they may scream
They can never steal my dream
Now I'm ready to fall
'Cause I've got an iron heart
Hey! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause I've got an iron heart
