Lyrics
Verse 1:
Rising up at dawn, another grind to face
Punch the clock, I’m lost in the rat race
Blood, sweat, and tears, they never count the cost
Climbing up that ladder, but I’m still the boss
Verse 2:
Dreams I’m chasing, buried deep in the dirt
Trading hours for pennies, but man, it hurts
Ain't looking for a handout, just a break in the fight
Wanna see a light shining, breaking through the night
Chorus:
Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere
Busting chains, but there’s more to bear
I’m working my fingers right down to the bone
Running in circles but I’m still alone
Verse 3:
Each day’s another battle, I’m barely holding on
Fighting for tomorrow, but it’s the same old song
Every promise is empty, every sign’s a dead end
But I'll keep on pushing, I ain't ready to bend
Verse 4:
Sweat on my brow, my knuckles are bruised
But I won't be a pawn in a game they’ll use
Keep my heart on the line, ‘cause I won’t be tamed
Though they’re stacking the deck, I’ll beat ‘em at their game
Chorus:
Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere
Busting chains, but there’s more to bear
I’m working my fingers right down to the bone
Running in circles but I’m still alone
Verse 5:
One of these days, I’m breaking out of this town
I’m gonna light up the night and burn it all down
Won’t be spinning my wheels, won't be stuck in the mud
‘Cause the road to freedom’s carved in my blood
Chorus:
Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere
Busting chains, but there’s more to bear
I’m working my fingers right down to the bone
Running in circles but I’m still alone
Outro:
Yeah, I'm breaking free tonight
Gonna take my shot, keep my dreams in sight
With my head held high, you can’t hold me down
I’ll keep fighting till I turn it all around!
