[Verse 1]
I've been Gheart broken, broke down
Hard up and hard fought

Every sunset will become a sunrise soon DagCaiBmnAsus4  
So be Gbold and be brave
And beware of those schemes
Stay Crazor sharp and find your mark
As you go chase your dreams
GWatch out for those dangers
Always dancing in the dark
When the Cshadows of the nights shoot out the lights
I know you'll be the DspCarBmkAsus4
