On My Own

I'm always up late thinking maybe
Could this be a big mistake
Have I made the wrong decision
Is this the right road to take
I could have had a nine to five
Or finished school just like my parents wanted
But now I'm feeling so alive
I found the sunshine, I'm no longer haunted
And I feel the fire burning deep within my soul,
Struggling for perfection,
When I reach it let me know
And I feel I need some guidance
But my pride won't let it show
And although the road is frightening,
I’m gonna make it on my own


Working late to earn my keeping,
Cause no one's gonna pay my way,
The night is cold I should be sleeping
But I’m waiting for my morning train
And I'll do this till I reach my goal,
Because no one's gonna do it for me
And the night is young, but time is old
And I’m gonna do this till I reach my glory

And I feel the fire burning deep within my soul,
Struggling for perfection,
When I reach it let me know
And I feel I need some guidance,
But my pride won't let it show
And although the road is frightening,
I’m gonna make it on my own


Cause I’m losing friends and gaining foes,
What tomorrow’s bringing no one's sure
And if I fail at least I know
I did it on,
I did it on my own
