I can feel the pressure coming down on me
People say that I'm not destined to succeed
But I have the faith I need to carry on
And I will find the strength in me to prove them wrong
It isn't for the thrill
It isn't for the prize
It's all about a fight to stay alive
Knowing that the dream can still survive

When you're out there on the edge
And the odds you face are life and death
You've go to have the heart of a champion
When your time is running out
And everybody sees you're going down
You've got to have the heart of a champion
When your back's against the wall
And your rival thinks you're gonna fall
You've got to have the heart of a champion

Listen
I have been through thick and thin and every vice
Standing in the winner's circle has its price
I have learned to fight the good fight to the end
And if I had to I would do it all again
And when the sun goes down
I won't fear the night
I will keep my head towards the sky
Knowing that the Lord is on my side

And when the darkness falls
I won't fear the night
I will keep my head toward the sky
Knowing that the Lord is on my side
