I feel my clothes catch on jagged rocks, but I mustn't slow my pace. Hands from limbs of unseen trees, slap me in the face.
Exhausted and worn I carry on, boots kick up dirt and mud. Thirsty lips that long for dreams, onward must I trudge.
I have hope tucked in my pocket, and luck strapped to my back. I'm bent yet never broken, no time to count the things I lack.
Monstrous rocks that block my way, they will move to my command. I'm pure strength and determination, in this shell they call a man.

I feel my clothes catch on jagged rocks, but I mustn't slow my pace. Hands from limbs of unseen trees, slap me in the face.
Exhausted and worn I carry on, boots kick up dirt and mud. Thirsty lips that long for dreams, onward must I trudge.
I have hope tucked in my pocket, and luck strapped to my back. I'm bent yet never broken, no time to count the things I lack.
Monstrous rocks that block my way, they will move to my command. I'm pure strength and determination, in this shell they call a man.
