I've been fighting like a soldier
From the day that I was born
Trying to make it through the hard times of this cruel world
But I'm keeping my head up
Even if I am alone
And I'll be fighting 'til the good Lord takes me home

Well, I've been running in a long race
Trying to get to the prize
Doing everything that I can to stay alive
But I'm never gonna give up
Even if I am alone
And I'll be running 'til the good Lord takes me home

I'll run the race that need to be run
I'll fight the fight that needs to be won
Are you listening?
I'll do what it takes for me to survive
I'll never give up or compromise
I do believe I'll walk away with a victory

I've been working my whole life
To be the best that I can
And I'm willing to sacrifice all that I have
And I'm never gonna give up
Even if I am alone
And I'll be working 'til the good Lord takes me home

I'll run the race that need to be run
I'll fight the fight that needs to be won
Are you listening?
I'll do what it takes for me to survive
I'll never give up or compromise
I do believe I'll walk away with a victory

I'm never gonna give up fighting
I'm never gonna stop until I'm done
And even if it costs my life
You will see me when the kingdom comes

I'll run the race that need to be run
I'll fight the fight that needs to be won
Are you listening?
I'll do what it takes for me to survive
I'll never give up or compromise
I do believe I'll walk away with a victory
I do believe I'll walk away with a victory
