Life In Your Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will never close my eyes
It has taken me this long to get this far
It has taken me this long to get this far
It has taken me so long to get this far
Now I'm breaking through, making waves and smashing against the shoreline
Breaking through, making waves and smashing against the shoreline
Now I'm staying on track this time
Now I'm staying on track this time
Forward motion is good
Free from guilt, over it all
This is my commitment
I’ll live and let redemption see me through
What a world wants to hold me down
I’m standing firm
What a world wants to hold me down
I’m standing firm
I’m standing firm
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
What a world wants to hold me down
I’m standing firm
What a world wants to hold me down
I’m standing firm
I’m standing firm
