Wake and pray, work all day I walk past the places that I used to lay Now I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are hard, some days are long Some days I'm weak, some days I'm strong I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor I chase these dreams down city streets Dead end roads that no one sees And I'm proud to be a fighter
Don't shut me out, don't hold me down I'm right here, I'll be around I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
Some days are slow, some days fly by Some days I laugh, some days I cry I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way
But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor I chase these dreams down city streets Dead end roads that no one sees And I'm proud to be a fighter
When I look back and see your side When I look hard into your eyes When I take stock of what I've done I think about how far I've come
But my hopes are so much higher Don't count me out, I'm a survivor And my hopes are so much higher And I'm proud to be a fighter
