You know I ve heard it all before, I ll hear it all again   I know just where I m going and I know just where I ve been   I ve seen so many come and go but somehow I survive   I know I will die someday, but I m glad to be alive   Glad to be alive   The strong survive      I ve got a life to lead, I care if I succeed   I got to find my way   I ve got a life to lead, I take just what I need   That's where I will stay   That's where I ll stay      I can t tell the future, I can t give a prophesy   Doing what it take to make my destiny   I can t help but wonder, but much to my surprise   Doing what I want with no trace of compromise   No compromise!   I tell no lies!      I ve got a life to lead, you know my soul is freed   I m finding my way   I ve got a life to lead, you know my soul is free   'Til the end of the day      I don t know who said it first, losers never last   Having no direction can make it end so fast   See so many come and go but somehow I survive   I know I will die someday, but I m glad to be alive   Glad to be alive   The strong survive      I ve got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed   I know the way   I ve got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed   You know I m here to stay   Here to stay!
