Hard times ahead and behind
I'll find a way to protect what's mine
Stuck it out through thick and thin
Never asked anyone for anything
I've made mistakes but i live and learn
My self-respect, i have earned
Look back on my past with no regrets
'cause i've learned lessons you can't forget
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
But i've never backed down
I've always shown pride
Through right or wrong i've fought
Through right or wrong i've lost
But i never ran away from my fears
Through right or wrong i've fought
Through right or wrong i've shown
I'm strong enough to make it on my own
On my own, on my own, on my own
I don't need any help, i can hold my own
