Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds It gets so hard at times like now to hold on My guns they're waiting to be stuck by At my side is God
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
There's people around who tell you that they know The places where they send you, and it's easy to go They'll zip you up and dress you down Stand you in a row But you know you don't have to You can just say no
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
I've been built up and trusted Broke down and busted But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours Just if we can Just, ah, hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh But I've been trying hard against strong odds It gets so hard at times like now to hold on Well, I'll fall if I don't fight And at my side is God
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on
[alternate lines of last verse:] Years ago I was all set to go And I've been trying hard against long odds It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around I can either stand or fall And I believe I'm gonna stand tall
