[Verse 1]
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 been in school just like my parents wanted
But now I'm feeling so alive
I found the sunshine, I'm no longer haunted
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Working late to earn my keeping
'Cause no one is 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
'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
