I've been living off of chances. I've been chasing the stars. I ain't no saint, but I'm the sailor of time. I've seen good men turn to dogs, and I've heard nations cry. Lord I'm young, but I feel like it's my time

*chorus* To rise above and make a change. I do it now, before it's too late. Lord I want a better life than boxcars and wine.

Feeling low, like I ain't got what it takes. I'm fighting odds that would make a gambler cry. I'm taking off my kid gloves and putting my fear aside. Bet your ass I'm gonna live while I'm alive.

*repeat chorus*
