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 9-5,
Or finish school just like my parents wanted
But now I'm feeling so alive,
I found the sun shine I'm no longer wanting

Chorus:
And I feel the fire burning deep within my soul,
Struggling 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

(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh)

Working late to earn my keeping,
Cause no one's gonna pay my way,
The night is cold I should be sleeping
But I'm waiting for my morning train
And I'll 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 gon' do this till I reach my glory

Chorus:
And I feel the fire burning deep within my soul,
Struggling 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

(Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh)

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
