paying my way

Dropkick Murphys

Wake and pray, work all day
I walk past the places that I used to lay
Now I m paying my way, I m paying my way

Some days are hard, some days are long
Some days I m weak, some days I m strong
I m paying my way, I m paying my way

I m paying my way
I m paying my way

But my hopes are so much higher
Don t count me out, I m a survivor
I chase these dreams down city streets
Dead end roads that no one sees and I m proud
To be a fighter

Don t shut me out, don t hold me down
I m right here, I ll be around
I m paying my way, I m paying my way

Some days are slow, some days fly by
Some days I laugh, some days I cry
I m paying my way, I m paying my way

I m paying my way
I m paying my way
But my hopes are so much higher
Don t count me out, I m a survivor
I chase these dreams down city streets
Dead end roads that no one sees and I m proud
To be a fighter

When I look back and see your side
When I look hard into your eyes
When I take stock of what I ve done
I think about how far I ve come

And my hopes are so much higher
Don t count me out, I m a survivor
And my hopes are so much higher and I m proud
To be a fighter
