|
I woke up today with a headache
|
More bills to pay than a corporation
|
Hey, when will it end
|
My mirror says I could use a break
|
An easy day, some appreciation
|
Hey how 'bout a friend
|
When days like these start to fall in on me
|
I gotta face my reflection and say...hey
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Been burned by the fire
|
Been stuck under water
|
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
|
Been tossed like a free throw
|
Knocked out when the wind blows
|
Pull the curtain on the hurtin'
|
'Cause I'm not going down
|
(I'm not going down no no)
|
|
Inside of me is the only
|
Highway that leads to a true freedom
|
Holding out it's hand
|
I close my eyes and it's all right
|
The sun will shine on a new horizon
|
Just around the bend
|
Days like these bring out the strength in me
|
So I can face my reflection and say...
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
|
|
I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced
|
But next time I won't let it beat me, no
|
I can see clearly, I know who I am
|
And that's how I know I've begun living
|
|
[Repeat chorus (out)]
