I saw the hardened ground, a land so bare Yet still I tried to find something there With weary hands, I held my stance Even when the world said: Quit, don't take the chance They said: You won't succeed But what is born through faith Doesn't follow numbers And makes no mistakes Through the days of struggle, of waiting, of pain Through the hardship and losses, the lessons I gained But it was will that made the roots grow strong inside And now I feel the force I can't hide And the strength keeps pushing me on Through the storm, a new dawn shone Now my voice is finally free There's a fire inside of me For the promise came alive Time has shown the will survives To those who said you'd fall Now they see the light will never die And the strength keeps pushing me on Through the storm, a new dawn shone Now my voice is finally free There's a fire inside of me For the promise came alive Time has shown the will survives To those who said you'd fall Now they see the light will never die
