Well i've been rubbed the wrong way
From the time that I knew
And now I am taking the freeway, yeah
My days of silence are through
There'll be no more whining
When it's time to do or die
So let's take it from the top now
My history's for me to write
Let me breathe
Let me speak
Let me see
Through the depths of dispair
Crests and troughs
I've been goin through the roughs
Done my time now I'am ready for the Climb
And now I've paid my dues
Hey lady you have no clue
You think you've put me down
You took me for a clown
The phoenix risen again
The ashes scattered behind now
You better watch you back now baby
Your hunt is on the prowl
Let me breathe
Let me speak
Let me see
Through the depths of dispair
Crests and troughs
I've been goin through the roughs
Done my time now I'am ready for the Climb
