Lyrics
Standing tall and you?ll
Hear me calling out, I?m running free
There?ll be no stopping me.
I know I can make it
I?ll show I can take it in my stride
I?ll keep the dream alive
I was born in a one-horse town
The kinda place they try to keep you down
Where those that dare to dream must bite the dust
I saw the light die in my daddy?s eyes
I saw the truth behind the lies
Of smiling faces we were told to trust
Mama knew that I?d have to be strong
So she taught me the words of a little song
(it went, I?m)
Standing tall and you?ll
Hear me calling out, I?m running free
There?ll be no stopping me.
I know I can make it
I?ll show I can take it in my stride
I?ll keep the dream alive
If you fight they?re gonna to hit you hard
Pretty soon you?re showing battle scars
The wounds go deeper than you?ll ever know
Each one?s a painful memory
That bring Mama?s words right back to me
(she said I would be)
Standing tall and you?ll
Hear me calling out, I?m running free
There?ll be no stopping me.
I know I can make it
I?ll show I can take it in my stride
I?ll keep the dream alive
I?ve been pushed just a little too far
Don?t give a damn who you think you are
Who the hell are you to put me down?
I?ll stand my ground
They say you pays your money and you takes your choice
Well listen up coz I think I?ve found my voice
(When I say I?m)
Standing tall and you?ll
Hear me calling out, I?m running free
There?ll be no stopping me.
I know I can make it
I?ll show I can take it in my stride
I?ll keep the dream alive
Standing tall and you?ll
Hear me calling out, I?m running free
There?ll be no stopping me.
I know I can make it
I?ll show I can take it in my stride
I?ll keep the dream alive
