NO TURNING BACK

I was born in the cold where the weak disappear Had to learn how to stand when nobody cared Every night brought pain, every day brought scars Still I looked to the sky, still I reached for stars Had my back to the wall, had my hands tied down Had to fight my way out when they counted me out All the words that they said, all the lies that they threw Made a fire inside that was burning right through I was walking through storms with a weight on my chest Trying to find my peace, trying to give my best Life ain’t fair, but I learned one thing You can lose everything and still choose to win No more running, no more hiding I can feel the change inside me Through the darkness, through the pain I will rise again I’m not going back, I’m not breaking down Even when the whole world tries to push me underground I’ve been through the fire, I’ve been through the rain Turned every scar into a reason to change If I fall, I’ll stand, if I bleed, I’ll heal I know the difference between fake and real They can take my past, they can’t take my soul I’m still alive, I’m still in control I remember the days when the hope was gone When the nights felt endless and the road was long Had dreams in my heart but fear in my mind Searching for a door I was trying to find People come, people leave, that’s the game we play Some will love you, some will walk away But the truth stays strong when the lights go low That’s when you find out who you really know I don’t chase the crown, I don’t need the fame I just want my name to stand for something great Every mistake that I made in the past Built the man that I am and the strength that I have I’m not going back, I’m not breaking down I found my way when I was lost in the crowd Through the shadows, through the pain I became stronger again If tomorrow comes with another fight I’ll be ready standing in the light They can take my past, they can’t take my soul I’m still alive, I’m still in control
