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
My heart is so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
I'd chased these dreams down city streets
Dead end rows and noone sees
And I am proud to be a fighter
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
My heart is so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
I'd chased these dreams down city streets
Dead end rows and noone sees
And I am proud to be a fighter
When I look back and see your sign
When I look hard into your eyes
When I take stock of what I've done
I think about how far I've come
My heart is so much higher
Don't count me out
I'm a survivor
And my heart is so much higher
And I am proud to be a fighter
