Years ago, my heart was set to live, ohBut I've been trying hard against unbelievable oddsIt gets so hard at times like now to hold onMy guns they're waiting to be stuck byAt my side is GodAnd there ain't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundThere's people around who tell you that they knowThe places where they send you, and it's easy to goThey'll zip you up and dress you downStand you in a rowBut you know you don't have toYou can just say noAnd there ain't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundI've been built up and trustedBroke down and bustedBut they'll get theirs and we'll get oursJust if we canJust, ah, hold onHold onHold onHold onYears ago my heart was set to live, ohBut I've been trying hard against strong oddsIt gets so hard at times like now to hold onWell, I'll fall if I don't fightAnd at my side is GodAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundAin't no one gonna turn me 'roundHold onHold onHold onHold on[alternate lines of last verse:]Years ago I was all set to goAnd I've been trying hard against long oddsIt gets so hard at times like this to even hang aroundI can either stand or fallAnd I believe I'm gonna stand tall
