Empty pockets cold dark nights
Fighting shadows losing sight
Dreams felt distant like a star
Wishing for a life afar
Bruised hands a weary mind
Ten long years left it all behind
Brick by brick stone by stone
Built an empire on my own
From the ashes I did rise
Millionaire under these skies
Blood and sweat endless pain
Now I'll never be the same
Lost some friends but hope remained
Kept on pushing through the rain
Found the strength deep in my soul
Climbed my way up to my goal
From the ashes I did rise
Millionaire under these skies
Blood and sweat endless pain
Now I'll never be the same
Every tear worth the fight
Now I'm basking in the light
No more shadows no more doubt
This is what it's all about
