Dig Deep

The streets where I played weren't pretty

I had to grow up fast, fight to the last

I was scared, had to hide my pain

When the night turned wild again

And if you show just a little weakness

The streets'll make you bleed, bring you to your knees

I prayed for a better life

I had to learn to make it right

I had to dig deep for the spirit

I had to dig deep or lose

'Cause when you get kicked down, get back on your feet

The only way out is through

As I grew up, I remained so loyal

All the lessons that I learned, in my heart they burned

All alone, even then, I knew

It'd make me a stronger man, now

Inside of me was a wasteland

Deep within I yearned, as the time it turned

My heart was lost, but I knew the cost

No love was going to leave me empty

Yeah, I had to dig deep for the spirit

Dig deep or lose

'Cause when you get kicked down, get back on your feet

The only way out is through

Well, I'm older now and wiser

I look back and laugh at the painful past

I'm a better man than I was back then

I forgive, but I won't forget it

I still have to dig deep for the spirit

Dig deep or lose

When I get kicked down, get back on my feet

The only way out is through

Hey, I had to dig deep for the spirit

I had to dig deep or lose

When I get kicked down, get back on my feet

The only way out is through
