Some of us We're hardly ever here The rest of us Were born to disappear How do I stop myself from Being just a number? How will I hold my head To keep from going under? Down to the wire I wanted water, but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me How did they find me here? What do they want from me? All of these vultures hiding Right outside my door I hear them whisperin' They're tryin to ride it out They've never come this long Without a kill before Down to the wire I wanted water, but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me Wheels up I got to leave this evening I can't seem to shake these vultures Off of my trail Powers is made, by power being taken So I keep on running To protect my situation Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Whatcha' gonna' do about it? Whatcha' gonna' do abou it? Whatcha' gonna' do 'bout it? Don't give up, give up Don't give up, give up, give up Don't give up, give up Don't give up, give up, give up
