Celine Dion - Courage Album Lyrics

Flying On My Own

So here we go
This brand new song is called
"Flying On My Own", here we go

There's something shifting in the air
If I'm not mistaken
Dust is clearing everywhere
Memories awaken

My feet on the runway
It's a beautiful day
I look to the sky now
I'm finding my way

I'm flying on my own
On the wings of your love
I'm flying on my own
On the wings of your love
I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)
I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)

The warmer winds will carry me
Anywhere I want them to
If you could see what I can see
That nothing's blocking my view

I look to the sky now
It's a beautiful day

I'm flying on my own
On the wings of your love
I'm flying on my own
On the wings of your love
I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)
I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)

I'm free like an eagle, soar like an eagle
Sailing the winds of change
On the winds of change
On the winds of change

My feet on the runway
It's a beautiful day
I look to the sky now
I'm finding my way

I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)
I'm flying on my own (on the wings of your love)
I'm flying on my, flying on my, flying on my own
Flying on my own, baby
I'm flying on my, flying on my, flying on my own
Flying on my own, baby

I'm flying on my own (Look to the sky now)
On the winds of change (Look to the sky now)
I'm flying on my own (Look to the sky now)
On the winds of change (Look to the sky now)
I'm flying on my own

Lovers Never Die

You said forever after
But what came after that
Wasn't what I expected
I expected you back
You said that you're romantic
Where's the romance in this?
It's obvious that you're full of it

I tried to give it time
But then our time slipped away
You said that you'd be fine
But finally I'm awake
You said it's only habit
But what happened is this
It's obvious, I'm not having it

You say the pretty things you know I like
But I can read between the lines
If lovers never die then why do I need you?
Believe when I see you
Whenever I see you
It kills me inside
Why'd you say goodbye if lovers never die?

I trust too easily
I trusted you'd treat me well
I'm faced with truth, but facing you
I'm asking for help
You played the gentleman
But there's no gentle in this
It's obvious you're full of it

You say the pretty things you know I like
But I can read between the lines
If lovers never die then why do I need you?
Believe when I see you
Whenever I see you
It kills me inside
Why'd you say goodbye if lovers never die?

It was just a lie
But I survived
Why do you say goodbye if lovers never die? ooh, ooh, oh

If lovers never die, then why do I need you?
Believe when I see you
Whenever I see you
It kills me inside
Why'd you say goodbye if lovers never die?
Why do you you say goodbye if lovers never die?
No

Falling In Love Again

When the sun went down on that day
I never thought that love would come back to me
When I closed my eyes and tried to dream
Darkness was the only thing I could see

I had run out of hope
Reached the end of the road
Hit the rocks at the bottom with no farther to go
But just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone
You showed me there's more to this life

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again
I can't believe I'm falling in love, but I am
I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on
No, this wasn't part of the plan
I can't believe I'm falling in love
But I'm falling in love once again

When you take my hand, you hold my heart
And I know everything will be alright
When you touch me there, I feel it everywhere
I'm loving things I never thought I would like

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again
I can't believe I'm falling in love, but I am
I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on
No, this wasn't part of the plan
I can't believe I'm falling in love
But I'm falling in love
Once again, oh

Just when I thought I was destined to end up all alone
You showed me there's more to this life

I can't believe I'm falling in love once again
(Oh, I'm falling in love once again)
I never thought that I would be strong enough to move on
No, this wasn't part of the plan
I can't believe I'm falling in love
But I'm falling in love once again
Whoa, ooh
Once again

Lying Down

Oh, I didn't mean to fall in deep
But I've no regrets
You tried to push me down, you tried to keep me possessed
I gave you my heart, you took the key
But now I paid my debt
It's time I left

And I don't need someone who makes me feel so bad
And I've just enough left to help me pack my bags
Yes, I have found something I thought I lost
I found me, I found faith, I found trust

You can't take this from me
Can't you see I won't take this lying down?
And I can't hear you when you speak your poison
Bitter words can't hurt me now, I won't take it lying down

All it takes is one bold move to change everything
All it takes is loving you to forget, forgive
But I'm having some kind of breakthrough
I'm ready to live

And I don't need someone who makes me feel so bad
And I've just enough left to help me pack my bags
Yes, I have found something I thought I lost
I found me, I found faith, I found trust

You can't take this from me
Can't you see I won't take this lying down?
And I can't hear you when you speak your poison
Bitter words can't hurt me now, I won't take it lying down

I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down

You can't take this from me
Can't you see I won't take this lying down
And I can't hear you when you speak your poison
Bitter words can't hurt me now, I won't take it lying down

I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down
I won't take it lying down

Courage

I would be lying if I said: "I'm fine"
I think of you at least a hundred times
'Cause in the echo of my voice I hear your words
Just like you're there
I still come home from a long day
So much to talk about, so much to say
I love to think that we're still making plans

In conversations that'll never end
In conversations that'll never end

Courage, don't you dare fail me now
I need you to keep away the doubts
I'm staring in the face of something new
You're all I got to hold on to
So, courage, don't you dare fail me now

Not one to hide from the truth, I know
It's outta my hands but I won't let you go
There's no replacing the way you touched me
I still feel the rush
Sometimes it drowns me 'til I can't breathe
Thinking it's only in our memories
But, then I talk to you like I did then

In conversations that will never end

Courage, don't you dare fail me now
I need you to keep away the doubts
I'm staring in the face of something new
You're all I got to hold on to
So, courage, don't you dare fail me now

'Cause it's not easy when you're not with me
This world of madness goes faster now
And it's a train wreck but I won't crash yet
Long as your echo never fades out

Courage, don't you dare fail me now
'Cause it's not easy when you're not with me
This world of madness goes faster now
And it's a train wreck but I won't crash yet
Long as your echo never fades out
Courage, don't you dare fail me now

Imperfections

I try to give all of myself to you
But before I can get there
I've got parts of me I'm trying to lose

Yeah, I got my own imperfections
I got my own set of scars to hide
I got my own imperfections
I can't hold your heart when I'm fixing mine

So give it up, give it up
I ain't gonna save you
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up
I ain't gonna save you
Give it up, give it up now

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own, I got my own

Hold on
Not tryna put you on the shelf
But before I could love you
I need to learn to love myself

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own set of scars to hide
I got my own imperfections
I can't hold your heart when I'm fixing mine

So give it up, give it up
I ain't gonna save you
Give it up, give it up now
Give it up, give it up
I ain't gonna save you
Give it up, give it up now

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own, I got my own

They're part of me and you are, too
And I don't really want to choose
Can you love them the way that I love you?
They make me who I am today
And they won't ever go away
Can you love them the way that I love you?

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own, I got my own (I got)

Before I can love you (before I can love you)
I need to learn to love myself (I got my own)
Before I can trust you (before I can trust you)
I need to learn to trust myself (I need, I need)
(Before I can love you)
(I got my)
(Before I can trust you)

Change My Mind

We were bold
We were dust
We were energy
We were more in the light than we'd ever be
Effortless dancing with symmetry
And the memory's more or less killing me

All of my sirens
Running to your fire
Don't fight it

Change my mind
Make me drunk on you again
Take the time
Got you wonderin' where I've been
Are you ever gonna change my mind?
(Are you ever) change my mind
I've been waiting for you, change my mind
(Are you ever) change my mind

Change my name
Chain the words to my dying day
But I just seem to keep pushing you away
And it's all I can do as an optimist
To look out on the shore for our lonely ship

All of my sirens
Running to your fire
Can't fight it

Change my mind
Make me drunk on you again
Take the time
Got you wonderin' where I've been
Are you ever gonna change my mind?
(Are you ever) change my mind
I've been waiting for you, change my mind
(Are you ever) change my mind (are you ever)

Change my mind (are you ever)
Make me drunk on you again
Ah, ah, ah, ah (are you ever, are you ever, are you ever)
Change my mind (are you ever)
Make me drunk on you again
Ah, ah, ah, ah (are you ever, are you ever)

We were bold
We were dust
We were energy
We were more in the light than we'd ever be

Say Yes

You push your love away
When it throws you a rope
You keep turning the pages
'Cause you're losing hope

You always put a cap on your fire
You think that everyone is a liar
You gotta let that thinking go
Stop saying, "no, no, no"

Say yes once more
You deserve to feel that rush again
Say yes once more
Let it touch you like it did back then
Remember the good times
Let go of the pain
Say yes

When he wants to talk
You got nothing to say
When he turns and smiles at you
You turn away

You always put a cap on your fire
Always holding back your desire
You gotta let your feelings show
Stop saying, "no, no, no"

Say yes once more
You deserve to feel that rush again
Say yes once more
Let it touch you like it did back then
Oh, remember the good times
Let go of the pain
Say yes (say yes)
Say yes (say yes)
Say yes
Oh (say yes)
Oh (say yes)
Say yes

Remember the good times
Let go of the pain

Say yes, mm
Say yes

Nobody's Watching

I've had it up to here, up to my neck
With everything politically correct
Just wanna lock myself away, leave me alone
Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

I wanna sit like nobody's listening
I wanna talk like nobody cares
I wanna party like a believer
I wanna wear whatever I wear

I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
Nobody

(Nobody)

Too much information in my head
I need to disconnect, I'm in the red
Just wanna get my body right back in the zone
Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone

I wanna sit like nobody's listening
I wanna talk like nobody cares
I wanna party like a believer
I wanna wear whatever I wear

I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (hey)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
I wanna dance like nobody's watching
I wanna dance like nobody's watching, nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching, nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody

The Chase

This is from the heart
Ready to let my guard down, whatever the cost
People then say you just can't love outside the box
So I'm gonna try my luck, come here

This is from a girl
That still believes there was someone in the world
To take her at her best and her worst
Won't give up when it hurts
So I'm gonna try my luck
I'm gonna try my luck, baby
I'm gonna try my luck on you
'Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay

'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day
And I can't keep up
Because I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase

This is for the one
Always walking to the beat of their own drum
Ain't afraid to take it as it comes
Yeah, you wanna try your luck
Do you wanna try your luck on me?
Cause I wish you, I wish you'd stay

'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day
And I can't keep up
Because I'm still reveling in the rush of the chase

I wish you, I wish you stay
I'm gonna run, but won't walk away
If you keep making my heart race
'Til I can't keep up, I be reveling in the rush of the chase

I wish you would
Keep me running, running, running
Searching for that something something
I think it could be
You and me

So stay
'Cause there's something about the chase
That's got you running through my mind all day
And I can't keep up
'Cause I'm still reveling in the rush

I wish you, I wish you'd stay
I'm gonna run, but won't walk away
You keep making my heart race
'Til I can't keep up, I be reveling in the rush of the chase

I wish you'd, I wish you'd stay
(I wish you would, I wish you would) oh, stay
(I wish you would, I wish you would) oh, stay
(I wish you would, I wish you would) stay
I wish you would
I wish you would

For The Lover That I Lost

Thinkin' about your lips and the way they kiss
There's so much I really miss about you
Sittin' on the beach, you were still in reach
And I haven't felt free without you
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, is tragic
And you're the last thing that I need

So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I lost
I stand by all my choices even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses, I lay them there
I lay them there for you

You've been on my mind, every single night
I can't visualize life without you
I've been tryin' to go a week without losing sleep
But there's something that I need to go through
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, is tragic
And you're the last thing that I need

So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I lost
I stand by all my choices even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
As I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses, I lay them there, I lay them there for you
I lay them there for you

So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I lost
I stand by all my choices even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses, I lay them there, I lay them there for you

Baby

I don't want to wait too long
Wait too long
So what do I do?
I don't want to take this time
To look inside
It hurts when I do
I don't want to feel this thing
Feel this thing
It burns my eyes through
Crying is the only thing that gets me through
Besides calling for you
Calling for you
Calling for you
Calling for you
Besides calling for you

I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
Come to me
Come to me

I don't want to think too much
Think too much
But that's what I do
Missing you is all I know
When you were close
I felt every move
Now, I don't want to feel this pain
Or stay up late and fall right into
Crying is the only thing that gets me through

Besides calling for you, oh, oh
Calling for you, oh, oh
Calling for you, oh, oh
Calling for you, oh, oh
Besides calling for you

I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
Come to me
Come to me

Besides calling for you
Calling for you (I don't want to wait)
Calling for you (I don't want to wait too long)
Calling for you (I don't want to wait)
Besides calling for you

I'll be there, eh, eh (calling for you)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
(Oh, oh, I don't want to wait too long)
I'll be there, eh, eh (eh, eh)
(Oh, I don't want to wait, I don't want to wait)
Come to me (wait too long)
Come to me (oh, oh)
I don't want to wait too

I Will Be Stronger

You were always stronger than me
First in the deep end
But then the first to leave
And I have missed you so heavily
But the weight's kind of lifting
I'm seeing colors in the street
And though I might have been lonely, you're lost
I don't feel like giving up just because you climbed off

And tonight
I have all I need
I got forgiveness, I'm feeling different
Tonight, I will be stronger
I didn't ask to be set free
But in my hour of weakness, I found a sweetness
'Cause sometimes love must die to be born again
One step off a road is not the end

Was just a moment, no souvenirs
No ache in my shoulder, but honey you were here
And I know love wins over pride
I won't outstay my welcome, but love is on my side

And tonight I have all I need
I got forgiveness, I'm feeling different
Tonight, I will be stronger
I didn't ask to be set free
But in my hour of weakness, I found a sweetness
'Cause sometimes love must die to be born again
One step off this road, it's not the end

And I know we said forever
And I know you left your mark
But you gave me a life worth living

And tonight I have all I need
I got forgiveness, I'm feeling different
Tonight, I will be stronger
I didn't ask to be set free
But in my hour of weakness, I found a sweetness
'Cause sometimes love must die to be born again
One step off this road is not the end
It's not the end, it's not the end

How Did You Get Here

I've been thinking about you
More than I want to
Spinning me around in this web
Getting in my heart and my head
Hanging on every word
Pretending they go unheard
Wish you didn't make me so weak
Every time I hear you speak
But you do
Yes, you do

I wasn't looking for love, I was comfortable
How did you get here? (How did you? How did you?)
Tell me, who let you in?
Shook all my confidence
How did you get here? (How did you? How did you?)

Can't fight this feeling
My heart's too revealing
Even though it's making me a fool
Can't tell love when it's tried or true
You're the one pulling me close
You're the one that I need the most
I wish you didn't make me so weak
Every time you're next to me
But you do
Yes, you do

I wasn't looking for love, I was comfortable
How did you get here? (How did you? How did you?)
Tell me, who let you in
Shook all my confidence
How did you get here? (How did you? How did you?)
Oh, oh
How did you get here?
How did you? How did you?

How did you scale the walls to my heart?
How did you know where to start?
How did you get here?
How did you get here?

How did you scale the walls to my heart?
How did you know where to start?
How did you get here?
How did you? How did you?

I wasn't looking for love, I was comfortable
How did you get here? (How did you get)
Tell me, who let you in?
Shook all my confidence
How did you get here? (How did you? How did you?)
Oh, oh
How did you get here?
How did you? How did you?
Oh, oh
How did you get here?
How did you? How did you?

Look At Us Now

Hard to look at pictures on the wall
Hard to pay the phone bill when you call
Hardly talking any more 'cause a single word could start a war
Once upon a time we had it all

Who would've known the future wasn't for us
Fools, we got it wrong
Thinking that we'd lead on love
But look at us now
Look at us now

How can we hold it together
When we're falling apart
Can't put my finger on the where, the why, the how
How can we see through forever
When we're lost in the dark
And though it's scaring me to say it out loud
Look at us now
Two broken hearts on the ground

Back to back, we sleep on separate sides
Back and forth, we slowly lose our minds
Backing out the driveway feels
Like this goodbye could be for real
Oh, once upon a time, time was on our side

Who would've known the future wasn't for us
Fools, we got it wrong, so wrong

How can we hold it together
When we're falling apart
Can't put my finger on the where, the why, the how
How can we see to forever
When we're lost in the dark
And though it's scaring me to say it out loud
Oh, look at us now
Two broken hearts on the ground
And you can't even look at me now
Oh baby, look at us now

Who would've known the future wasn't for us
Fools, we got it wrong
Thinking that we'd lead on love
But look at us now
Two broken hearts on the ground

Perfect Goodbye

Forty five steps in the same direction
Oh, ain't it strange we're here connecting
Don't need to understand if God's got a plan
It's out of our hands anyway

No regrets this is heaven sent
Look at where we are, it's amazing
And if you need me, I will be in your memory

Goodnight baby, kiss me now, don't make me sad
After midnight, promise we'll never look back
This shit is perfect
Each second worth it
Let's save this love before we go and hurt it now
Goodnight baby
The stars in the sky
This is the perfect goodbye

Forty five steps in the same direction
Just take my hand, don't ask no questions
Don't need to understand if God's got a plan
It's out of our hands anyway

No regrets, this is heaven sent
Look at where we are, it's amazing
And if you need me, I will be in your memory

Goodnight baby, kiss me now, don't make me sad
After midnight, promise we'll never look back
This shit is perfect
Each second worth it
Let's save this love before we go and hurt it now
Goodnight baby
The stars in the sky
This is the perfect goodbye

'Cause I don't wanna be here without you
I'd rather just buy a little time
Open up the memory and keep you by my side
I can't believe that I haven't found you
Ever take a look around?
Everything is perfect now

So goodnight baby, kiss me now, don't make me sad
After midnight, promise we'll never look back
This shit is perfect
Each second worth it
Let's save this love before we go and hurt it now
Goodnight baby
The stars in the sky
This is the perfect goodbye

The stars in the sky
This is the perfect goodbye
This is the perfect goodbye

Best of All

Sun going down
Leaving pearls on the skyline
But you just do what you did
Feel like I can feel for the first time

Every tiny light in your eyes
Every flicker, every thought going by
Is it madness?
Is it the worst kind of madness?

No, it's the best of all
Nobody looked at me like that before
Nobody's ever fallen when I fall
On my knees in the streetlight at your door
Is it wrong to be sure?
Oh no
It's the best of all

All of my life, I've been blown by the wind
In and out of lonely places
Washed up everywhere
But now I know where I'm going
Is it madness?
Is it the worst kind of madness?

No, it's the best of all
Nobody looked at me like that before
Nobody's ever fallen when I fall
On my knees in the streetlight at your door
Is it wrong to be sure?

No, it's the best of all
It's not just my heart you have my whole damn world
You wanna know, you wanna know what I'm feeling?
Ten feet tall
On my knees in the streetlight at your door
Is it wrong to be sure?
Oh, no
It's the best of all

Heart of Glass

Couldn't breathe
Couldn't breathe, it was high tide
Couldn't leave, couldn't leave
Felt the night sky closing in
Closing in on me
Couldn't scream, couldn't dream
Only nightmares
Pity me, couldn't see
For the darkness closing in
Closing in on me

See a need, feel the need
See a need, feel the need
You said
See a need, feel the need
You, said, see a need

Up 'til now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I been living in a heart of glass

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass

Keep me safe in your loving embracing arms
Kiss your face 'til there's no more to say
I'll hold you near, I'll hold you near to me

See a need, feel the need
See a need, feel the need
You said
See a need, feel the need
You said, see a need

Up 'til now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I been living in a heart of glass

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass

Oh, you took a chance on me
Wrist and your hands may bleed
Wrist and your hands may bleed, yeah

Oh, you took a chance on me
Wrist and your hands may bleed
Wrist and your hands may bleed

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I been living in a heart of glass

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I been living in a heart of glass

Until now
I was living in a heart of glass
I was living in a heart of glass
I been living in a heart of glass
Heart of glass, heart of glass
Until now, until now
Oh, I can breathe now

Boundaries

We are the ones that walked the fire
And people say, "don't touch"
Yeah, people say, "don't touch"
We are the ones that never listen
We can't get burned enough
We can't get burned enough

And there's no boundaries
Can never hurt you, you can never hurt me
And we're so unique for falling in love and letting love be

You've got to take me to that place
You let your guard down, yeah
You let your guard down, yeah
If you don't take me all the way
We'll let the world down, no
Can't let the world down, no

And there's no boundaries
I could never hurt you (now you've found me)
You could never hurt me (there's no boundaries)
And we're so unique for falling in love (now you've found me)
And letting love be (there's no boundaries)

If you don't take me all the way
We'll let the world down, yeah
Can't let the world down, no
Can't let the world down, no
Can't let the world down, no

There's no boundaries
I could never hurt you (now you've found me)
You could never hurt me (there's no boundaries)
And we're so unique for falling in love (now you've found me)
And letting love be (there's no boundaries)
Letting love be in your heart
Letting love be in your heart
Letting love be in your heart
Letting love be in your heart
Just let love

The Hard Way

I been, I been, I been
I been touching fires for the sake of feelin'
I been chasing, chasing
Chasing all these highs so I could crash the ceiling
I been restless, tempted to follow every devil way down
I took it so low and at that time it looked like no way out

I had to see
Try to believe
I write my story and this ain't how it's ending
Said to myself
Said to myself, "this ain't how I'm gonna go down"

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shot down my hope
I had to find a light to hold
You gotta pray just a little
Die just a little
To come alive in the right way
And sometimes to get home you gotta go
The hard way, hard way

Turnin', turnin', turnin'
Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning
For something more than 4 A.M.
Messed up in bed, no I don't miss that feeling
I don't see a reason
Chasing love down a dead end
But see the truth is
I wouldn't know that unless I did

I had to see
Try to believe
I write my story and this ain't how it's ending
Said to myself
Said to myself, "this ain't how I'm gonna go down"

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shot down my hope
I had to find a light to hold
You gotta pray just a little
Die just a little
To come alive in the right way
And sometimes to get home you gotta go
The hard way

I wouldn't know what I'm made of
If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out)
As long as it took me to get here
Hard times were worth what I found (I found)
I wouldn't know what I'm made of (I wouldn't know)
If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out)
As long as it took me to get here (to get here)
Hard times were worth what I found

When the bottom hit my soul
I had to climb up all alone
When the night shot down my hope
I had to find a light to hold
You gotta pray just a little
Die just a little
To come alive in the right way
And sometimes to get hope, you gotta go
The hard way
