I'm gonna get out of my shell

Try without anybody's help

To loose this heavy load

And get my life back on the road



I've seen the worst when I was down

Only loneliness I found

Now I'm climbing to the top

And I ain't never gonna stop



I'll carry on, though the road is long

I'm gonna get myself together

And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong

Gonna try to make it better, baby



The rest of my life I'll take these chances

Time goes by so very fast

I'll share my fortune and my failure

'til there's nothing left



And if somewhere down the line

I'll find I'm running out of time

I hope to god that I can say

I made the best of every day



'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long

I'm gonna get myself together

And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong

I'm gonna try to make it better, baby



The rest of my life I'll take these chances

Time goes by so very fast

I'll share my fortune and my failure

'til there's nothing left
