I won't look back with apologies
My every flaw and my victories
I'll wear them proud so the world will see
The man I was and the man I'll be
There are days when the fire's out
My lungs are burning and my hands are shaking loud
I view it all with perspective now
I've sailed away from the days I swore I'd drown
Hold your breath now kid
It's hit or miss throughout life
And when the air is thin
Know you're flying through the cloud line
And when you're all alone
There's angels there fight by your side
You can hold your own tonight
Well I may be down
But I'm breaking out
I'll stumble and I'll fall until I'm running free
Even though I know that I will always be
An imperfect man
Well this is who I am
Chasing dreams shouldn't be so hard
Scared to fail yet afraid that I'd go far
If aversion lies in the smallest spark
I'll let anxiety be my guiding star
Hold your head high kid
And you will go the distance
And fight the strongest winds
Each step destroys resistance
And when you cry for peace
Angels will be there in an instant
Breathe and take a stand
Well I may be down
But I'm breaking out
I'll stumble and I'll fall until I'm running free
Even though I know that I will always be
An imperfect man
Well this is who I am
I'm holding tight
Cause better days will come
I'll find the light
I swear I'll see the sun
And I'll stand tall
I'll face the call
I'll give my all to it
It's my story
It's my story
It's my story
Well I may be down
But I'm breaking out
I'll stumble and I'll fall until I'm running free
Even though I know that I will always be
An imperfect man
Well this is who I am
(It's my story)
(It's my story)
(It's my story)
I won't look back with apologies
My every flaw and my victories
(It's my story)
I'll wear them proud so the world will see
The man I was and the man I'll be
(It's my story)
And in the end, when I see that light
I wanna know that I lived it right
(It's my story)
I swear that I'll put away my pride
I'll live my life in the upsides
