It takes forever to convince them that you're who you say you are   They like to judge you but you know they'll only do it from afar   You know there's always something to push you on   The blows keep coming at you life don't seem to care for you at all   You know there's something that keeps you moving on   You keep on moving even though you know you're heading for a fall      (CHORUS)   Now I know where I'm going   And I know where I'm coming from   Now I know where I'm going   Doesn't really matter what you say   Hit me with your best shot    You know I'm gonna be O.K.      You're in the gutter but there's part of you that's staring at the stars   If they had their way you'd be singing on the street and working bars   Then they're on your side and you can do no wrong   If they don't hurt you now how come you use them for another song   Your eyes are open now you know what to believe   Then suddenly it's all about that song and pulling on a sleeve      (CHORUS TO END)
