I was raised in a faraway land Tryin' to be
number one Dad use to tell me - "Whatever you
do never let go 'til you're done" I was
fightin' as anyone I was twisted around I
was broke just as anyone On the way - way
down Never ever settle for less Raise you
hand it's to kill or to bless Never ever
settle for less Who needs a crown when your
head's on the ground Let me out I'm just
makin' a mess Chip on my shoulder and look on
my face Changin' my life on the fly Too
late to make it and too late to stop Too late
to figure out why I can make you as
anyone I can twist around I can break you
as anyone on the way - way down The wind of
sadness can shade the heart of gold I'm gonna
leave it all behind I'm prayin' for a break -
if I could face the world Without sadness on
my mind
