I’ve been fighting like a soldier
From the day that I was born
Trying to make it through the hard times
Of this cruel world
But I’m keeping my head up
Even if I am alone
And I’ll be fighting till
The good Lord takes me home

Well, I’ve been running in a long race
Trying to get to the prize
Doing everything that I can
To stay alive
But I’m never gonna give up
Even if I am alone
And I’ll be running till
The good Lord takes me home

I’ll run the race that needs to be run
I’ll fight the fight that needs to be won
Are you listening
I’ll do what it takes for me to survive
I’ll never give up or compromise
I do believe I’m walking away
With the victory

I’ve been working my whole life
To be the best that I can
And I’m willing to sacrifice
All that I have
I’m never gonna give up
Even if I am alone
And I’ll keep working till
The good Lord takes me home

I’m never gonna give up fighting
I’m never gonna stop until I’m done
Even if it costs my life and
He will see me when the Kingdom come
