Memories of the past trying to put a hold on me Going into the future not looking back over my shoulder And I'll still end up being free Making a new choice of my own , and lifting up my strong voice Won't have to try so hard and give away myself Looking in the mirror and yes I like just what I see Still going to keep my distance from wrong and temptation And stay real and always be free Never going to give up , no matter how hard the test I'll stand among the victors and come out being the best
