I’ve been down but I’m getting stronger
I’m not ready for the judgement day
Life is hard but not much longer
I’m going to stand up tall and take my place
When work is over and the day is done
I lie in bed but sleep won’t come
I count the sheep, I close my eyes
I wake up burning with the devil’s fire
Hmm...
Beside the bed, a shadow waits
Blocking the path to the pearly gates
Tried to drag me down to the mouth of hell
But I chased him off with a glory yell
Will my feet still walk when I get old
Will my backbone ache when the house gets cold
With my mouth talk, my eyes still cry
What am I gonna do when the years go by
Hmm...
No food on the table, heavy in debt
Long as I’m breathing, I’m not dead yet
Don’t believe in original sin
But if Gabriel knocks, I’m gonna let him in.
I’ve been down but I’m getting stronger
I’m not ready for the judgement day
Life is hard but not much longer
I’m going to stand up tall and take my place
