Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
But Ive been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
My guns theyre waiting to be stuck by
At my side is god
And there aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Theres people around who tell you that they know
The places where they send you, and its easy to go
Theyll zip you up and dress you down
Stand you in a row
But you know you dont have to
You can just say no
And there aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Ive been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But theyll get theirs and well get ours
Just if we can
Just, ah, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
But Ive been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Well, Ill fall if I dont fight
And at my side is god
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Aint no one gonna turn me round
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
[alternate lines of last verse:]
Years ago I was all set to go
And Ive been trying hard against long odds
It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around
I can either stand or fall
And I believe Im gonna stand tall
