We only have one life to live
Second chances don’t exist
All that’s not accomplished this time around
Will vanish and never be found

I hold my head up high
And I swear to god “I would die…
For just one chance to do what I love”
Cause those who doubt and live without dreams don’t have much

I’ve made a promise to myself
From now on I’ll leave my conscience on the shelf
I wont let this life pass me by
No one can bring me down, I dare you to try

I hold my head up high
And I swear to god “I would die…
For just one chance to do what I love”
Cause those who doubt and live without dreams don’t have much

Now I’m here all alone
With nothing to call my own
No one’s here by my side, I wonder why
Everything got turned around, you’ve all said goodbye

I hold my head up high
And I swear to god “I would die…
For just one chance to do what I love”
Cause those who doubt and live without dreams don’t have much

So hold on to everything you believe in
No matter how small it may seem
We live in a world that’s so cold
All I want is to be free
