What It Takes

Burning bright, I light the way

No turning back, I start today

It's in my soul, I can't ignore

Doing what it takes, I'm wanting more

Woke up with fire in my eyes

No more doubts, no more lies

Every challenge, I embrace

With every step, I set my pace

They say it's hard, they say it's long

But I believe where I belong

Feet on the ground, head held high

I'll reach the sky, I won't ask why

Doing what it takes, breaking through the night

Shining like the stars, I’ll never lose the fight

Every ache, every pain, leads me to my dreams

Doing what it takes, it's the only way to believe

Midnight oil, burning fast

Living for the wins at last

Sweat and tears, pave my road

Strength in every heavy load

Every fall, every climb

All for reasons, all for time

Push ahead, making strides

With courage fueling my pride

Doing what it takes, breaking through the night

Shining like the stars, I’ll never lose the fight

Every ache, every pain, leads me to my dreams

Doing what it takes, it's the only way to believe

No retreat, no surrender

Fuel my fire, make it tender

Heart beats loud, I’m alive

Doing what it takes to survive

Now I stand here proud and free

Living out my destiny

Doing what it takes, my fate

Carved in stone, I won’t hesitate
