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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/carman/heart_of_a_champion.html ]
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 it's 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
