This road′s been long, hard and strong
Reinforced my hunger, gave me a song
Caused my heart to sing
Songs of thrill and woe
I'm aspiring to let my journey show
That I made it here, I made it here
I′m here because I wanted it so bad
I pushed and made it through
I never stopped believing I could be here
To see beyond the mountaintops
My soul will never stop
Reaching for my dreams
I'll continue to believe because I made it here
Through the tears, the laughter,
The challenges I face
My desire for triumph cultivates
I am changing, words can't demonstrate
How I′m growing, it′s impossible to stay
Still in these times when life means so much I've got to try to reach and to touch
Every heart, every mind, every soul
Through the fire that′s beneath me
That's my life′s goal
I'm here because I wanted it so bad
I pushed and made it through
I never stopped believing I could be here
To see beyond the mountaintops
My soul will never stop
Reaching for my dreams
I′ll continue to believe
Because I made it here
I'm here because I wanted it so bad
I pushed and made it through
I never stopped believing I could be here
To see beyond the mountaintops
My soul will never stop
Reaching for my dreams
I'll continue to believe because I made it here
Because I made it, I′m here
