You alone must stand your ground You take a life worth nothing and turn it around You stand alone, yeah that`s the deal You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
Another rainy New England night At your wit`s end with no hope in sight You turn on Costello it`s welcome to the working week You`re broke and cornered no one to call On your shoulders the hardship falls Yet something inside you stirs and you begin to smile
Faced with few options you look to yourself And begin to decide that
You alone must stand your ground You take a life worth nothing and turn it around You stand alone, yeah that`s the deal You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
Now the other side of the coin now hits Optimism runs partner with it The pendulum swings into your favor now Cash in pocket you earn your keep With security you now sleep Your mandate never quit sustaining you
Got more options hit your stride and continue the fight
You alone must stand your ground You take a life worth nothing and turn it around You stand alone, yeah that`s the deal You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
You alone... You alone... I`ve seen many people get lost in the fight You alone... Seen any others just get pushed right out of sight
You alone must stand your ground You take a life worth nothing and turn it around You stand alone, yeah that`s the deal You have yourself to count on cause no one really cares
