On My Own

[Verse 1:]
They say they don't like the colour of my hair
My childish dreams, they won't get me anywhere
They say they don't like the style of my clothes
That I don't stand a single chance, what do they know?
All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour, I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking.

[Chorus:]
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
Did it, did it, I did it on my own
Did it, did it, I did it on my own.

[Verse 2:]
They say that I shouldn't play my music loud
I'm going nowhere 'cause I don't run with their crowd
They say the world don't need people like me (People like me)
Such hateful words, didn't know they cut so deep
All of those sleepless nights thinking I won't survive
Almost gave up, I was breaking
But in my darkest hour, I found my inner power
And life is mine for the taking.

[Chorus:]
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own.

[Bridge:]
Nobody's gonna tell me how to live my life
Nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong, they right
Nobody's gonna tell me what I can and can't do
I'm living proof.

[Chorus:]
So I stand right here and nobody would know
It's been a long, long troublesome road (I did it on my own)
Gonna throw my party, I don't care if you show
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
So I stand right here and nobody would know (Did it on my own)
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own
And I've got this smile upon my face even though
It's been a long, long troublesome road
I did it on my own.

[Outro:]
Did it, did it, did it on my own
Did it, did it, I did it on my own
Did it, did it, did it on my own
Did it, did it, I did it on my own.
