Here I go on another trip
Another meal I skip
Cos I'm lookin for something

It's something that I may never find
But I've got lots of time
And it's never for nothing

Cos one thing I won't do is lay down and die
Cos I'm not a quitter

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day
I'll look back and I'll feel so silly
But til then I'll keep on pushin on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you

Sometimes all that it's gotta take
Is to make mistakes
And my lesson is branded
But through my trials I will find my way
And I'll never say that my lesson was handed

Although you tried your best
To lend me a hand
This is still my lesson

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day
I'll look back and I'll feel so silly
But til then I'll keep on pushin on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you
