I will bend, and I will sway
I will fight to stand up straight
When trouble winds roll my way
I won't break

I will hope, and I will love
I will give 'til there's enough
That's a life I'm dreaming of
I won't give up

My head's spinnin' all around and 'round
The world keeps tryin' to bring me down, oh
I bought a ticket to the joy parade
And I ain't jumpin' off of this happy train, no

I will stumble, I will crawl
Beat my head against these walls
In the end, I won't have it all
But I'll stand tall

My head's spinnin' all around and 'round
The world keeps tryin' to bring me down, oh
I bought a ticket to the joy parade
And I ain't jumpin' off of this happy train, no

I will sing, and I will shout
But these words fly from my mouth
And I will live what this life's about
Before without

I will live what this life's about
Before without
