1
I had a vision for the life that was ahead of me
I had a reason, I had a right and had a destiny
I thought I knew where I was headed
I would never look back
I had it all and then I went and let it slip away
I'm working overtime, I'm gonna make it anyway
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
Sometimes you never get her back, oh you know
But I'm
Rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
It's weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we still got a shot in the dark
Sometimes in life you meet the people that you think you trust
Wake up one day, you find that everything had turned to dust
I always knew that you'd be waiting for me when I got back
Waiting when I came
Rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
It's weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby we still got a shot in the dark
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way out
I'm gonna find a way
I got a vision for the life that's right in front of me
I got a right, I got a reason, got a destiny
I know exactly where I'm headed and I'm never looking back
Well, nothing's holding me back
Well, nothing's holding me back
From rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me man, well I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Rising up slowly, I'm getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, baby I'm a fighter
I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we still got a shot in the dark
And I know that I still got a shot
I had a reason, I had a right and had a destiny
I thought I knew where I was headed
I would never look back
I had it all and then I went and let it slip away
I'm working overtime, I'm gonna make it anyway
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
Sometimes you never get her back, oh you know
But I'm
Rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
It's weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we still got a shot in the dark
Sometimes in life you meet the people that you think you trust
Wake up one day, you find that everything had turned to dust
I always knew that you'd be waiting for me when I got back
Waiting when I came
Rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
It's weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby we still got a shot in the dark
I'm gonna find a way
I'm gonna find a way out
I'm gonna find a way
I got a vision for the life that's right in front of me
I got a right, I got a reason, got a destiny
I know exactly where I'm headed and I'm never looking back
Well, nothing's holding me back
Well, nothing's holding me back
From rising up slowly and getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me man, well I'm a fighter
But I know I still got a shot in the dark
Rising up slowly, I'm getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, baby I'm a fighter
I know I still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we still got a shot in the dark
And I know that I still got a shot

Anyone who ever said, "I'm a lover not a fighter," has never had the true experience of love.
Love is something you have to fight for every day, even when that choice is difficult (or far-fetched).
The best part of this song is perhaps the verb tense change, from the first to final verse, from past tense to present tense, Such an excellent parallel, highlighted by the stripping away of the instruments.
The certainty is truly frightening; but yes, have courage.
