Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand Now this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else I'm done, tipping on my toes Strike an iron, and attack my soul Misty Moon, you're gonna see I've got your blues to get on my feet Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand Now this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay free, to be me I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose I don't wanna play, I just wanna remember, oh my name Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand, oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Now this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else Cause this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else Now this is my life, my friend
