Time to act
Brace for impact
Flying at the speed of sound
I'll give the first shot everything I got
Show it I'm not messin' 'round
Then it hits me harder
than I ever felt before
I swallow red and shake my head
That's not what I was ready for
Gotta find a way to control this
gotta beat this
Gotta figure out a way to defeat this
Fighting for my life here
I will not give in
A little scared, but I came prepared
In case I need a little shot of sound
Aretha's tones in the headphones
And I'm ready for another round
Then it hits me harder
than I ever felt before
My body's achin', faith is shaken
Don't think I can take no more
Gotta find a way to control this
gotta beat this
Gotta figure out a way to defeat this
Fighting for my life here
I will not give in
This is my life
This is my story
How can there be anything stronger than me
In my life
In my story
Gotta find a way to control this
gotta beat this
Gotta figure out a way to defeat this
Gotta find a way to control this
gotta beat this
Gotta figure out a way to defeat this
Gotta find a way to control this
gotta beat this
Gotta figure out a way to defeat this
Fighting for my life here
And it hits me harder
And there must be some mistake
And it hits me harder
And I feel something break
And it hits me harder
And I'm running for my life...
