I woke up today with a headache More bills to pay than a corporation Hey, when will it end My mirror says I could use a break An easy day, some appreciation Hey how 'bout a friend When days like these start to fall in on me I gotta face my reflection and say...hey [Chorus:] Been burned by the fire Been stuck under water Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around Been tossed like a free throw Knocked out when the wind blows Pull the curtain on the hurtin' ' Cause I'm not going down (I'm not going down no no) Inside of me is the only Highway that leads to a true freedom Holding out it's hand I close my eyes and it's all right The sun will shine on a new horizon Just around the bend Days like these bring out the strength in me So I can face my reflection and say... [Repeat chorus] I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced But next time I won't let it beat me, no I can see clearly, I know who I am And that's how I know I've begun living [Repeat chorus (out)]
