My Song
Dakota Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nobody said it`d be this hard
Making my way with no direction
Can hardly believe I`ve come this far
I`ve got a fire
Burning inside my heart
I`ve got a dream that helps me to be strong
With a million miles to go
Nobody, no one
Can take away my song
Everybody has a say
About the way I should be living
Everybody says they understand
Ain`t if funny how when times get tough
And the road gets rough
And you`re falling
Nobody`s there to lend a hand
I`ve got a fire
Burning inside my heart
I`ve got a dream that helps me to be strong
If there`s one thing that I know
With a million miles to go
Nobody, no one
Can take away my song
No matter what it takes
The river finds the sea
And nothings gonna break me
I`ll won`t stop believing
Can`t take that away from me

Nobody said it would be easy
The journey to success is not easy
But nobody said it'd be this hard
However, it is even harder than anticipated
Making my way with no direction
Despite not knowing the right direction to take, I keep moving forward
Can hardly believe I've come this far
I am amazed at my progress given the circumstances
I've got a fire
I have a burning passion
Burning inside my heart
This passion is deep within me
I've got a dream that helps me to be strong
My dream motivates and strengthens me
If there's one thing that I know
I am firm in one conviction
With a million miles to go
Despite having a long way to go
Nobody, no one
No individual
Can take away my song
Can stop me from pursuing my dreams and passions
Everybody has a say
People have their opinions
About the way I should be living
On how I am supposed to live my life
Everybody says they understand
People claim to understand my challenges
Ain't it funny how when times get tough
It is ironic that when I face adversity
And the road gets rough
And obstacles appear on my path
And you're falling
And I am struggling
Nobody's there to lend a hand
No one is willing to offer support
No matter what it takes
I will do whatever it takes
The river finds the sea
To reach my destination, I will find a way
And nothing's gonna break me
I will not let anything stop me
I won't stop believing
I will continue to have faith
Can't take that away from me
My belief and hope cannot be taken from me
