The Turnaround

I'm caught up in a maelstrom That's trying to pull me in I keep on swimming outward But I feel that I can't win Like feces in a toilet As the water pulls it down I refuse to let that happen I will not let me drown My mind is forged from muscle My muscles forged from steel They both combine to give me strength To carry out my will When I survive to stay alive I'll celebrate the day I'll take a breath and heave a sigh And then I'll have my say I'll stand upon a pedestal The crowds will cheer my name I'll raise my hands in victory And they will do the same The sun will share my glory And the stars will share my shine All will know the beauty That the three of us combine I have a heart. I have a soul I have a light within Let everybody out there know My final word is "WIN" Rockman :-)
