(Verse 1)
Walk alone, I'm on the street,
Kick the pebbles at my feet
Can’t escape this city heat
No idea what fate I’ll meet
Could be lost, or could be prevail
Could be light or tip the scale
Could be bold or tuck my tail
Pray to God I don’t derail

(Pre-Chorus)
My life this day, has only just begun
My hopes and dreams, like reachin´ for the sun
My now right now, I'm a mongrel on the run
Wrong side of the barrel of the gun
How to get over to the other side
I plan I try, but still the gulf is wide
Try to step forward, but I backslide
Next time I’ll hit my stride

(Chorus)
This life is mine, I take control and steer
I shift my life into a higher gear
The path ahead won`t be the easy road
But we can find a way, no matter where we go!

(Verse 2)
Checkin’ out, must find the key
‘Scape my cell, this third degree
Know that someday I’ll break free
Chance to rise from bended knee
‘Til that day, I’ll bide my time
Even though I’ve done no crime
Pick my moment, start my climb
Steppin’ up, I’ll hit my prime.

(Chorus)
This life is mine, I take control and steer
I shift my life into a higher gear
The path ahead won`t be the easy road
But we can find a way, no matter where we go!

(Bridge)
Even as we sleep, pain which cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon our wounded hearts
And in our deep despair, against our will
Comes wisdom to us, by the grace of God

And as I reach beyond my pain today
I pray to God that I can find my way
Through this life journey, I will come to see
Our bond of Love, can be my destiny

(Pre-Chorus)
My life this day, has only just begun
My hopes and dreams, like reachin´ for the sun
My now right now, I'm a mongrel on the run
Wrong side of the barrel of the gun
How to get over to the other side
I plan I try, but still the gulf is wide
Try to step forward, but I backslide
Next time I’ll hit my stride

(Chorus)
This life is mine, I take control and steer
I shift my life into a higher gear
The path ahead won`t be the easy road
But we can find a way, no matter where we go!
