In how many ways can you break my spirit down

Again

And how many times have I peeled my face up off the ground

For you

In case that you′re starting to think you can run my life

I'd think again

Or cripple my faith when you judge and criticize me

But I′m still standing

I don't know if I can say

I've lived through everything

But I′ve walked this earth alone

With barefeet broken in the snow

And my father said to me

It never seems to be

A simple walk down an icy, cold, broken road

Disgraced and ashamed

Afraid to walk the line again

Controlled for too many years, but never once forgiven

For my sins

And I never thought I′d say

That I'm weaker today than I was yesterday, old man

But I′ll fight as I always fight with what's inside of me

This warrior spirit inside of me

I don′t know if I can say

I've lived through everything

But I′ve walked this earth alone

With barefeet broken in the snow

And my father said to me

It never seems to be

A simple walk down an icy, cold, broken road

And time after time

A man who couldn't be a man

I'm alone but I′m alive

Been taught to believe what′s meant to be, will be

I don't know if I can say

I′ve lived through everything

But I've walked this earth alone

With barefeet broken in the snow

And my father said to me

It never seems to be, yeah

A simple walk down an icy, cold, broken road again

An icy, cold, broken road, old man

I guess I′ll never know

But I've been told it′s an icy, cold, broken road

It's an icy, cold, broken road
