It’s been a long way, but I made it here with love
I made it here with love, love
Said I’ve been and up and down and I’ve been through it all
Took a while to know my heart
Oh, yes, it did, yeah
Before love like this, you go
Through the fire and valley lows
But if you just hold on
Please hold on ’cause love is strong, it’ll save yah
Oh, please hold on, it’ll save yah, save yah

Truth can be the sweetest pain
It can mess up everything
It’s the only way you know
I’m payin’ for it, I’m changin’ for it
Oh, oh, and it hurts
But I’ll make it work
‘Cause I’m no beginner
I’m a winner, paid dues, I know my purpose

Thought they’d put my life on hold
But I knew somethin’ they didn’t know
I know myself too much to ever fold
