Lyrics
?Heart Of A Champion?
I can feel the pressure coming down on me
people saying I?m not destined to succeed
But I will find the will in me to carry on
?cause I know that I?m strong enough to prove them wrong
It isn?t for the thrill
it isn?t for the prize
It?s all about the will to survive
knowing that my dream is still alive
Chorus
When you?re standing on the edge
and the odds you face are life & death
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
When your luck is running out
and everybody says you?re going down
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
When you?re back?s against the wall
and your rival thinks you?re gonna fall
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
I have been through thick and thin, had every vice
standing in the winner?s circle has its price
I have learned to fight the good fight till the end
and if I have to I will do it all again
It isn?t for the thrill
it isn?t for the prize
It?s all about the will to survive
knowing that my dream is still alive
Chorus
When you?re standing on the edge
and the odds you face are life & death
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
When your luck is running out
and everybody says you?re going down
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
When you?re back?s against the wall
and your rival thinks you?re gonna fall
you?ve got to have the heart of a champion
And when the darkness falls
I won't fear the night
I will keep my head toward the sky
Knowing that my dream is still alive
Chorus Out
