So many years Full of pain and sacrifice No one seemed to realise Had to compromise what I believed in So many times That I've watched my dream's demise But the writings in the sky Made me keep my head up and keep singing Oh oh oh oh I carry on And all those nights Of ambition and desire Guided by an inner fire That would keep me warm and raise my spirit The road is long And it's full of bitter trials Full of stugles and denial But undying strength lies deep within me There is no try There is only do or die Raise my fist and touch the sky And there's nothing that will stand in my way I've paid the price And it's left me scared for life But no matter how they try I will not give up, I'll do it my way
