On My Own

They say they don't like the colour of my hair My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere They say they don't like the style of my clothes That I don't stand a single chance What do they know? All of those sleepless nights Thinking I won't survive Almost gave up, I was breaking But in my darkest hour I found my inner power And life is mine for the taking So I stand right here and nobody would know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own And I've got this smile upon my face even though It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own I did it on my own They say that I shouldn't play my music loud I'm going nowhere cos I don't run with their crowd They say the world don't need people like me People like me Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive Almost gave up, I was breaking But in my darkest hour I found my inner power And life is mine for the taking So I stand right here and nobody would know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own And I've got this smile upon my face even though It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life Nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong, they right Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do I'm living proof So I stand right here and nobody would know It's been a long, long troublesome road Gonna throw my party I don't care if you show It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own So I stand right here and nobody would know It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own And I've got this smile upon my face even though It's been a long, long troublesome road I did it on my own Did it, did it Did it on my own Did it, did it I did it on my own Did it, did it Did it on my own Did it, did it I did it on my own
