Pushing Forward

They said boy you'll never make it big But here I am chasing dreams so lean No suit no tie just me and my grit Living life loud like you've never seen When they doubted I just sang out loud Turned my pain into a fierce crowd No charts to climb just passion's shout In this heart there's no backing out Oh they can't crush this fire inside I'm a star on a wild ride Writing songs under city lights Chasing dreams breaking ceilings high Bills pile up but I keep my stride No fame no cash couldn't turn this tide One note at a time amidst all snide Here I stand taking it all in stride Friends left foes tried to pull me down But I played my chords in every town With each strum I turned my fate around Music's my voice and I own that sound Oh they can't crush this fire inside I'm a star on a wild ride Writing songs under city lights Chasing dreams breaking ceilings high
