Well the strain that I'm under Is the price that I pay I can still bring the thunder Still got something to say There were times that I thought I was done for Should I lie? Should I cry? Should I pray? But I ain't gonna beg for you no more Move the world out my way Not today (Not today) Not that way Feel the strain that I'm under Yeah, I still got the fire in my eyes Come what may (Come what may) Price I pay Chains are dragging me under Yeah, not Today Not that way Well the strain that I'm under Takes it's toll everyday But one way or another I'll blow the nightmares away Understand that I'll get what I came for I got nothing to lose anyway Sick and tired of the strain that I'm under Move the world out the way Not today (Not today) Not today (Not today) Not today (Not today) Not today (Not today) I've still got the fire in my eyes I've still got the heart to go on On and on I'll smile through the trial I'll go mile after mile after mile If that's what it takes till it's gone Long long gone Not today Not today (Not today) Not that way Feel the strain that I'm under Yeah, I still got the fire in my eyes Come what may (Come what may) Price I pay Chains are dragging me under Yeah, not today Not that way Not today Not today Not today Not today.
