Wake and pray, work all day, walk past the places I used to lay

I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way

[Chorus] G F C
I'm paying my way, I'm paying my way

Don't count me out, I'm a survivor

I've chased these dreams down city streets
G
Dead-end roads that no one sees
F G C
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
