[Verse 1]

I climb the mountain

For all to see

Systematic ascension

Is a part of me

I've felt the fire

Been taken over

I'm pushin' forward

And gettin' closer


[Verse 2]

From the fire to the streets

I've seen it all

I've melted in the heat

And I heard the call

And then, a brand-new day

A chance to be reborn

I've seen another way

No time to sit and mourn


[Chorus]

There's a light

That shines

At the tunnel's end

It lights my every step

I came here to win

Never say "never"


[Bridge]

Shadows of things that might have been

Or another sunset simply gone

Ponder questions without answers

Indecision spreads like cancer

Wash the dirt from beneath your nails

One has tried, one has never failed


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

I'm getting closer

Can see the top

And when I started

Knew I'd never stop

The road was long and hard

The climb was rough

But to a greater end

Ya hang tough


[Verse 4]

Pulled it from inside of me

It drove me forever

Didn't want to sit and rot

Wanted better

From the fire to the streets

From the fire to the streets

From the fire to the streets

You never, never

Never say "never"


[Chorus]

There's a light

That shines

At the tunnel's end

It lights my every step

I came here to win

Never say "never"


[Outro]

Never say "never"

No, never
