On My Own

They say they don't like the colour of my hair
My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere
They say they don't like the style of my clothes
That I don't stand a single chance
What do they know?

All of those sleepless nights
Thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour
I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking

So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
I did it on my own

They say that I shouldn't play my music loud
I'm going nowhere 'cause I don't run with their crowd
They say the world don't need people like me
Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep
All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking

So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own

Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life
Nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong, they right
Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do
I'm living proof

So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
Gonna throw my party
I don't care if you show
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own

So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
(I did it on my own)

Did it, did it
Did it on my own
Did it, did it
I did it on my own
Did it, did it
Did it on my own
Did it, did it
I did it on my own
