I won't be denied my chance to shine
And I will always fight for my rights
When I feel like a man against the world
One thing I know
Take my hand
And let me show you the promised land
I live my life the way I want
I'm gonna die one happy guy
Cause then I know that I've tried
If you wanna succeed you got to do it on your own
That's one thing I know
Take my hand
And let me show you the promised land
I live my life the way I want
Here I am
I'm gonna take one stand
I live my life the way I want
Times will go by and you wonder why
You didn't live your life
Take my hand
And let me show you the promised land
I live my life the way I want
I live my life
