Built to Last

I've been to a place so cold that it steals your soul It takes more than hope, it takes its toll Where the fine line begins and heroes end Where the naysayers pray and the innocent sin Where night conquers day and fortunes fade Where the land sharks stay and hurt won't go away And trouble sets in and you can't get out 'Cause there's so much fear and doubt I've been beat up and broken down And I've been there a thousand times I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend And we all got our reasons why I gave my life from the things I had And it all goes by so fast I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend Now I know I was built to last, built to last I've been to a place so dark that it breaks your heart The devil's teeth stay sharp and they leave their mark And everything you've built fuckin' falls apart If you made it this far you're right back, where you start And people work hard and just get by Can't hang your head or hold it too high No matter, what's the stake, you state your claim And I won't live my life in vain I've been beat up and broken down And I've been there a thousand times I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend And we all got our reasons why I gave my life from the things I had And it all goes by so fast I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend Now I know I was built to last Built to last, built to last, built to last You keep rollin' on, there's no lookin' back You keep rollin' on, there's no lookin' back Built to last, that's what it is, built to last And you keep rollin' on, there's no lookin' back You keep rollin' on, there's no lookin' back I've been beat up and broken down And I've been there a thousand times I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend And we all got our reasons why I gave my life from the things I had And it all goes by so fast I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend Now I know I was built to last, built to last
