It's not where I started,
It's where I have been along the way,
It's not where I end up,
It's whom I meet along the way,
I've been around so very long,
You've all been here to hold me down,
And I know why you've come along,
Do you expect me to turn?
Did you all come here to watch me burn?
Well now, ain't that something,
I have handled far worse storms than you,
I've been burned by forces you can't understand,
Washed away by tidal waves of pain,
I've lost everything; time and time again,
But I am still standing!
I walk my path without remorse,
I run my life the way I feel,
I make my stand against my own demons,
And my love runs deeper than any ocean,
So I ask you again,
Do you expect me to turn?
Did you all come here to watch me burn?
Well now, ain't that something.
