And I can't go back, I won't surrender
I ran into a wall, tried to do it all
And nothing went as planned
I did another show, took another blow
But now I've made my stand
I will try all I can to be stronger, be a man
And pull my head up off the sand
And I can't go back, I won't surrender
There's just one way out and I know there's a light
I am right on track, it's now or never
I am closing in, I'm alive again
I couldn't get about, had to do without
But I have turned a tide
Now I've found my way, know that I can stay
I don't need to run and hide
I have tried hard to please and it brought me to my knees
All I need right now is peace
And I can't go back, I won't surrender
There's just one way out and I know there's a light
I am right on track, it's now or never
I am closing in, I'm alive again
I have seen the light, I will try to make it right
But it is so hard to tell just what will make you warm
And I do believe this illusion is up to me
And I can't go back, I won't surrender
There's just one way out and I know there's a light
I am right on track, it's now or never
I am closing in, I'm alive again
And I can't go back, I won't surrender
