I can feel the pressure coming down on me 
People say that I'm not destined to succeed 
But I have the faith I need to carry on 
And I will find the strength in me to prove them wrong 
It isn't for the thrill 
It isn't for the prize 
It's all about a fight to stay alive 
Knowing that the dream can still survive 

When you're out there on the edge 
And the odds you face are life and death 
You've go to have the heart of a champion 
When your time is running out 
And everybody sees you're going down 
You've got to have the heart of a champion 
When your back's against the wall 
And your rival thinks you're gonna fall 
You've got to have the heart of a champion 

Listen 
I have been through thick and thin and every vice 
Standing in the winner's circle has its price 
I have learned to fight the good fight to the end 
And if I had to I would do it all again 
And when the sun goes down 
I won't fear the night 
I will keep my head towards the sky 
Knowing that the Lord is on my side 

And when the darkness falls 
I won't fear the night 
I will keep my head toward the sky 
Knowing that the Lord is on my side
