On My Own

If I believe I'm halfway there before I even try
 You've seen me falling down, now watch me as I rise
 Even the darkest nights will end
 But like the sun, I'll rise again
 These ups and downs that lie ahead
 Can't touch me now as I ascend
 Ever since this climb began
 There's no one there to guide my hand
 Out from the crowd, I try to stand
 And I can make it
 On my own, I can make it
 On my own, I will face it
 And I am never letting go
 I can make it on my own, own
 I can make it on my own, own
 I can make it on my own
 Silently the ghost of you is fading from my eyes
 And these, these ties that bind are broken, now I rise
 They try to bring me down 'cause they're below me
 Acting like they even know me
 Who I am and where I'm going
 They're just mad they can't control me
 My whole life I took things slowly
 But now I know that they can't hold me
 From my chance my one and only
 'Cause I can make it
 On my own, I can make it
 On my own, I will face it
 And I am never letting go
 I can make it on my own
 I had to fall a thousand times to learn to live, to be alive
 But the darkest paths can lead to light
 If I believe I'm halfway there before I even try
 You've seen me falling down, now watch me rise
 On my own, I can make it
 On my own, I will face it
 And I am never letting go
 I can make it on my own, own
 I can make it on my own, own
 I can make it on my own
