[Verse 1]

I started at the bottom, tried everything

Had to find the kind of strength you've never seen before

Time to write my story, make history

After all these battles, yeah, I'm ready for war

Yeah, now I'm ready for war

[Chorus]

If I sink before I swim

I'll be alright, I will survive

If I lose before I win

I'll still ignite the fire inside

I will overcome

I will overcome

I will live before I die

Thеre's no way to hide the firе inside

The fire inside

[Verse 2]

Take a trip, take a sip, slip off the rail

Had to open my eyes so I could see for myself

Tied down, locked up, but I prevailed

I was born for war

[Chorus]

If I sink before I swim

I'll be alright, I will survive

If I lose before I win

I'll still ignite the fire inside

I will overcome

I will overcome

I will live before I die

There's no way to hide the fire inside

The fire inside

[Bridge]

I will survive

The fire inside

[Chorus]

If I sink before I swim

I'll be alright, I will survive

If I lose before I win

I'll still ignite the fire inside

I will overcome

I will overcome

I will live before I die

There's no way to hide the fire inside

The fire inside

[Outro]

There's no way to hide the fire inside

There's no way to hide the fire inside
