I used to think that I couldn't carry on Trying to reach for the impossible dream I was told that I'd never make it there That it was nothing but a dream It was hard to find my inner strength Why I suffer just what does this all mean? It's a fight me against the odds But there's a fire somewhere within that keeps on burning In a snowstorm I reach out my hand Not a finger in sight Have I been circling or am I almost there? One more step keep the faith going In a snowstorm the avalanche collapses on top of me I climb and I break away from underneath I get up I'm here to stay I will strive for the stars above the sky Doesn't matter that they're light years out of reach I will walk till my legs give out Cause there's a fire somewhere within I will strive for the stars above the sky Doesn't matter that they're light years out of reach I will walk till my legs give out Cause there's a fire somewhere within That keeps on burning In a snowstorm I reach out my hand Not a finger in sight Have I been circling or am I almost there? One more step, keep the faith going In a snowstorm the avalanche collapses on top of me I climb and I break away from underneath I get up I'm here to stay If there are others like me You're lost in the storm Then remember this Like mom used to say even water can wear the hardest rock away In a snowstorm I reach out my hand Not a finger in sight Have I been circling or am I almost there? One more step keep the faith going In a snowstorm the avalanche collapses on top of me I climb and I break away from underneath I get up I'm here to stay I’m here to stay
