I've been fightin' all my life and I ain't done yet

Eight lives gone, just one life left

I've been digging in the dirt and I'm finally free

I see a light in the tunnel and it's blinding me

And I won't stand down

And I won't give in

And I won't let go

I got a brand new fire

And it lights my soul

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

Burning with a reason

Gonna laugh in the face of old man time

Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark

Burning with a reason, burning with a reason to live

Gonna build me a house with my final straw

Chase this dream, win, lose or draw

Gonna share with you now what I've always known

Turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones

And I won't stand down

And I won't give in

And I won't let go, no

Got a brand new fire

And it's outta control

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

Burning with a reason

Gonna laugh in the face of old man time

Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark

Burning with a reason, burning with a reason to live

I've been getting down to business

I've been working after midnight overtime, burning

I've been trying to prove who I am

What they're sellin' I ain't buyin'

Though some days I feel like cryin'

I've been tryin', I've been dyin' just to live

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

Burning with a reason

Gonna laugh in the face of old man time

Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark

Burning with a reason

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

Burning with a reason

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)

Burning with a reason

I gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

I gonna dance on the bones of days gone by

I gonna dance on the bones

Burning with a reason to live
