It's gonna be a long, long journey
|
It's gonna be an uphill climb
|
Its gonna be a tough fight
|
There's gonna be some lonely nights
|
But I'm ready to carry on
|
I'm so glad the worst is over
|
Cause it almost took me down
|
I can start living now
|
I feel like I can do anything
|
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe
|
Anything you say to me
|
And everything you do
|
You can't deny the truth
|
Cause I'm the living proof
|
So many don't survive cause
|
They just don't make it through
|
But, look at me
|
I'm the living proof
|
Oh yes I am!
|
Thinking back life's been painful
|
|
Yes it was
|
Took a while to learn how to smile
|
So now I'm gonna talk to my people about the storm
|
So glad the worst is over
|
|
I can start flying now
|
My best days are right in front of me
|
Yet I'm almost there
|
Cause now I'm FREE
|
I know where I am going
|
Cause I know where I've been
|
I gotta feel strong and show it
|
I will stay strong keep growing
|
That's the way that I win
|
Nothing about my life's been easy. NO-
|
Nothings gonna keep me down
|
Because I know a lot more today
|
That I knew yesterday
|
So I'm ready to carry on
|
