I'll make it

Nobody can bring me down,
It is my time to shine right now
-- Their words may pierce, but they won't sting...
Hell, I'm not even listening!

I'll make it through all on my own
-- I'm better now, I am all grown.
Nobody's perfect, nor am I....
-- But I will do my best to try.

And when I fail, I'll stand up strong
-- I'll know they didn't prove me wrong.
I said that I would give a try;
I kept my word: I didn't lie.

I'd rather be a loser than to be known as a liar.
I'd rather take the risk of missing just by reaching higher.
This is my first and my last chance
-- I must live life the best I can.

I will do my best, I'll give my all;
I will get up if I'm to fall.
I will not hide, I will not run
-- I'll prove my worth to everyone.

We all will end up in the ground
-- each heart will stop beating somehow.
The Rich. The Poor. The Good. The Bad.
We all will end up Dead Like That.

The only thing that I can change
is all the things that will take place
between the time of birth and death
-- I must make this life well worth it.

To breathe, I have to find the strength
to make a path at any length
-- I will succeed, I'll prove them wrong
(I had it in my all along.)

[I'm going to live on,
and you won't prove me wrong;
I'll give my best, I'll give my all
-- You'll have to learn to like it or not.

I am me. I will always be me.
I won't change, no matter what you say.
