You said I'd never be a leader You said I'd never wear a crown If I wanted to be someone I should learn to settle down
(You should know better) I tell myself (You'll never go further) I warn myself (You'll never be better) Don't know me that well
I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top But I can't keep doubting myself anymore
No! No
I can't keep doubting myself no
Now you're looking at a leader Now you're staring at a queen You said I'll never be someone But now I'm pulling all the strings
(You should know better) Won't let me back down (You'll never go further) Can't turn me around (You'll never be better) So no-one's stopping me now
I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top I can't keep doubting myself anymore
No! No, no, no, no, oh no no, oh no
You think you know But you don't know the half You think you beat me down But I'll have the last laugh I'll keep getting up 'Cause that's what I'm gonna do yea I'm gonna be the best me Sorry if it kills you
I made it to the end I nearly paid the cost I lost a lot of friends I sacrificed a lot I'd do it all again 'Cause I made it to the top But I can't keep doubting myself anymore
No, oh no no no no, I can't keep doubting myself no, no no oh no oh no oh no

process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic,
political and religious relationship.
“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.”
