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 falling on me

I have to 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 down when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin

Cause I'm not going down

(Im not going down)

This side of me is the only highway

That leads to a true freedom

Holding out it's hand

(Holding out it's hand)

I close my eyes and it's alright

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!'

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 down when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin

Cause I'm not going down

(Im not going down)

I still get busy and frantic

Lonely and panticed

But this time

I wont let it beat me no!

I can see clearly

I know who I am

That's how I know

I've begun living

Been burned by the fire

Been stuck under water (stuck under water)

(On the wire)

And still the world goes around

Been tossed like a free throw

Knocked down when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin

I'm not going down

Been burned by the fire

Been stuck under water

Strung up on a wire

And still the world goes around

Been tossed like a free throw

Knocked down when the wind blows

Pull the curtain on the hurtin

I'm not going down
