This is what I wanted
Nothing's gonna change it
This is what it's all about
Gotta keep believing
This is why I am breathing
Nothing else on my mind
Suddenly I see that time has been running out
Lord I feel like it coming
Under my skin
I can feel the change
Under my skin
No more hesitating
I don't wanna face it
This is all I've ever known
Feel my mind straining
All my doubts are fading
Rushing to the edge and I let myself go
And I feel that my heart's going crazy now
I am not gonna break, can't be taken down?
No I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
I feel the fire within burning high
With the thunder
No, I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
It's going down with the thunder
This can not bе taken
All I have been facing
I will nevеr let it go
Feel the liberation
It won't be forsaken
Never gonna shout it out
Suddenly I see that this is not the end
Lord, I feel like it coming
Under my skin
I can feel the change
Under my skin
Feel my mind straining
All my doubts are fading
Rushing to the edge and I let myself go
And I feel that my heart's going crazy now
I am not gonna break, can't be taken down?
No I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
I feel the fire within burning high
With the thunder
No, I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
I am what I am
I'm not heaven sent
I am what I am
Here we go again
Down with the thunder
Yeah, I feel that my heart's going crazy now
I am not gonna break, can't be taken down?
No I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
I feel the fire within burning high
With the thunder
No, I'm not going under
It's going down with the thunder
