Own Your Fire
By Raymond Livingston
Being me, you sit in fire,
Never giving up, I won't tire
From the struggles to the strife
I'll face it all, that's my life
I won't bow down to defeat
I'll rise up, stay on my feet
Never giving up, that's my game
I've got grit, I've got shame
I won't stop, I won't quit
I'll keep pushing, I won't sit
Life's a marathon, it ain't no race
I'll take it slow, at my own pace
I'll learn from my mistakes, take every step
And when I fall, I'll take a breath
I won't let obstacles block my path
I'll climb every mountain, do the math
People gonna hate, people gonna doubt
But I'll rise above, I won't pout
I'll prove them wrong, show them what's up
I'll keep going, I ain't giving up
Through the darkness, I find my spark
Lighting up hope when the world gets dark
Every scar's a story, every tear a song
I'm building strength, where I belong
Dreams may tremble, but they won't break
I’ll give my all, whatever it takes
With every sunrise, I start anew
Chasing the vision I know is true
When the silence screams and the night feels cold
I’ll stand my ground, fierce and bold
No storm can shake what’s deep inside
My spirit’s strong, I’ve got my pride
I'll strive for greatness, I'll reach my peak
And when I do, the world will see
I'm me, and I'll always fight
Never give up, that's my right
So listen up, and hear my plea
Never give up, just like me
So when you’re lost and feeling low
Remember how the brave ones grow
Stand tall, keep your head held high
Spread your wings, give life a try
Never give up, don’t let go
Let your courage always show
