I'm gonna get out of my shell Try without anybody's help To loose this heavy load And get my life back on the road I've seen the worst when I was down Only loneliness I found Now I'm climbing to the top And I ain't never gonna stop I'll carry on, though the road is long I'm gonna get myself together And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong Gonna try to make it better, baby The rest of my life I'll take these chances Time goes by so very fast I'll share my fortune and my failure 'til there's nothing left And if somewhere down the line I'll find I'm running out of time I hope to god that I can say I made the best of every day 'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long I'm gonna get myself together And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong I'm gonna try to make it better, baby The rest of my life I'll take these chances Time goes by so very fast I'll share my fortune and my failure 'til there's nothing left
