In the wide desolateness
I almost became hopeless
not knowing what I'm even looking for


Digging through the weathered surface
every bone aches but I'll keep at it

with patience I'll perform my mission

I can't deny that sometimes I wonder

is there a purpose, a greater power
never lose sight of what I am after
the truth to light my way


[Chorus:]
I won't give up, I'll never lay down

even when the storm it tries to sting my eyes
it will never break me twice
failure is not an option

when it's my life on the line
I'll do my best to walk a straight path
and that's a promise I make for life


All these questions in my mind
I've always held the answers

but I keep searching for them else where

From this moment life has new meaning

value every day as a new beginning
listen to what my heart is saying


I can't deny that sometimes I wonder
is there a purpose, a greater power
never lose sight of what I am after

the truth to light my way

[Repeat Chorus]


[Bridge:]
it's a test of strength

it's a test of will
in the moving waters
you can't stay still

cuz the end will justify the trial
and the answer you will find was in you all along
