I been fighting like a soldier From the day I was born // Trying to make it through the hard times Of this cruel world But I keeping my head up even if I am alone And I be fighting till the good Lord takes me home Well, I been running in a long race Trying to get to the prize Doing everything I can To stay alive But I never gonna give up even if I am alone and I be running till the good Lord takes me home. I run the race that needs to be run I fight the fight that needs to be won Are you listening I do what it takes for me to survive I never give up or compromise I do believe I walk away with the victory verse 2 I been working my whole life to be the best that I can And I willing to sacrifice All that I have But I never gonna give up even if I am alone And I keep working till the good Lord takes me home. Bridge: I never give up fighting I never gonna stop until I done Even if it costs my life and He will see me when the kingdom come
