I can feel the pressure coming down on me People say that I'm not destined to succeed But I have the faith I need to carry on And I will find the strength in me to prove them wrong It isn't for the thrill It isn't for the prize It's all about a fight to stay alive Knowing that the dream can still survive When you're out there on the edge And the odds you face are life and death You've go to have the heart of a champion When your time is running out And everybody sees you're going down You've got to have the heart of a champion When your back's against the wall And your rival thinks you're gonna fall You've got to have the heart of a champion Listen I have been through thick and thin and every vice Standing in the winner's circle has its price I have learned to fight the good fight to the end And if I had to I would do it all again And when the sun goes down I won't fear the night I will keep my head towards the sky Knowing that the Lord is on my side And when the darkness falls I won't fear the night I will keep my head toward the sky Knowing that the Lord is on my side
