I'm always up late
thinking maybe
Could this be
a big mistake?
Have I made
the wrong decision?
Is this the right road
to take?
I could have had
a nine to five
Or finished school
just like my parents
wanted
But now I'm feeling
so alive
I found the sun shine
I'm no longer haunted
And I feel
the fire burning
Deep within my soul
striving for perfection
when I reach it
let me know
And I feel I need
some guidance
but my pride
won't let it show
And although the road
is frightening
I'm gonna make it
on my own
Working late
to earn my keeping
'Cause no-one's
gonna pay my way
The night is cold
I should be sleeping
But I'm waiting for
my morning train
and I do this
till I reach my goal
Because no-one's
gonna do it for me
and the night is young
but time is old
And I'm gonna do this
till I reach my glory
And I feel
the fire burning
Deep within my soul
striving for perfection
when I reach it
let me know
And I feel I need
some guidance
but my pride
won't let it show
And although the road
is frightening
I'm gonna make it
on my own
'Cause I'm losing friends
and gaining foes
what tomorrow's
bringing no-one's sure
And if I fail
at least I know
I did it on
I did it on my own
