Felt I was born for somethin' more But I'm still knockin' on a broken door Destined for greatness, that's what they say But the road keeps draggin' my soul away Tried my hands at a thousand things Still don't know what tomorrow brings But I won't lay this burden down Till the fire in my chest shakes the ground Every scar I wear is proof I tried Every dream I lost is still alive I'm fightin' me, the hardest war The man in the mirror says I'm built for more I was born to rise, I was born to bleed To carve my name where the angels read If I fall tonight before I'm through I'll fall swingin' till I break on through The fightin' man blues, it cuts me deep But it's me versus me, and I won't sleep Fear in my chest, hole in my heart Afraid I'll die before I make my mark Before I make my mama proud Before I stand and shout it loud But I keep walkin' through smoke and flame Every fall just fuels my name 'Cause the devil knows, and the good Lord too The fight in the end is me versus me, not you One day the dirt will cover my bones But not till I claim what I call my own You can chain my hands, you can break my will But the soul don't rest, it's climbin' still I'm fightin' me, the hardest war The man in the mirror says I'm built for more I was born to rise, I was born to bleed To carve my name where the angels read If I fall tonight before I'm through I'll fall swingin' till I break on through The fightin' man blues, it cuts me deep But it's me versus me, and I won't sleep Me versus me Till eternity
