[Verse 1]
I've known since I was young
I wouldn't stay where I was from
Wouldn't take the easy road
Went ahead and made my own
Why walk when you can run?

[Pre-Chorus]
I had to get used to "No"
Every high takes a low
I can't go with the flow
When I wanna make waves
Oh, but I'm seeing it now
Just like a break in the clouds
Feel the sun shining down on me

[Chorus]
I'm on my way up, won't look back
I'm on my way up, past has passed
'Cause I found my strength inside of me
Got my head up high 'cause I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
[Verse 2]
Thank God for my mistakes
For the tears and the lonely days
Even though it hurt like hell
No, I never lost myself
'Cause I bend but I don't break

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I'm seeing it now
Just like a break in the clouds
Feel the sun shining down on me

[Chorus]
I'm on my way up, won't look back
I'm on my way up, past has passed
'Cause I found my strength inside of me
Got my head up high 'cause I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)

[Bridge]
I'm still fighting my demons but I don't believe them
Finally following my soul
I'm still me but I'm better, I'm stronger than ever
And I know
[Chorus]
I'm on my way up, won't look back
I'm on my way up, past has passed
'Cause I found my strength inside of me
Got my head up high 'cause I believe
I'm on my way up
And I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
I'm going, I'm going up (My way)
