Not Going Down

I woke up today with a headache

More bills to pay than a corporation

Hey when will it end?

My mirror says I could use a break

An easy day, some appreciation

Hey how 'bout a friend?

When days like these start to fall in on me

I gotta face my reflection and say

Hey, hey

Been burned by the fire

Been stuck under water

Strung up on the wire and still the world goes around

Been tossed like a free throw

Knocked out when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin'

'cause I'm not going down

I'm not going down

Inside of me is the only

Highway that leads

To a true freedom

Holdin' out it's hand.

(Holdin' out it's hand)

I close my eyes and it's all right

The sun will shine on a new horizon

Just around the bend

(Just around the bend)

Days like these bring out the strength in me

So I can face my reflection and say

Hey, hey, hey

I still get

Dizzy and frantic

Lonely and paniced

But next time I won't let it beat me

No

I can see clearly

I know who I am

That's how I know I've began
