Not Going Down

I woke up today with a headache
More bills to pay than a corporation
Hey, when will it end
My mirror says
I could use a break
An easy day, some appreciation
Hey how 'bout a friend
When days like these start to fall in on me
I gotta face my reflection and say...hey [Chorus :]
Been burned by the fire
Been stuck under water
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Been tossed like a free throw
Knocked out when the wind blows
Pull the curtain on the hurtin' '
Cause I'm not going down (I'm not going down no no)
Inside of me is the only
Highway that leads to a true freedom
Holding out it's hand
I close my eyes and it's all right
The sun will shine on a new horizon
Just around the bend
Days like these bring out the strength in me
So I can face my reflection and say... [Repeat chorus]
I still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and paniced
But next time
I won't let it beat me, no
I can see clearly,
I know who
I am And that's how
I know I've begun living [Repeat chorus (out)]
