Mamma raised me all on her own
Said, "Boy when you grow up
You're gonna need to be strong"
Look at me now I'm a working stiff
Guess I found out
That you get what you give
She said
Halleluja
Celebrate the days
If it's all you got
Halleluja
Know who you are
Forget what you're not
Do do do do do
Tried my best to be a man
When you come from nothing
You could always use a hand
Tried to carve out my own path
Odds are against you
It ain't an easy task
Halleluja
Celebrate the days
If it's all you got
Halleluja
Know who you are
Forget what you're not
Do do do do do
Full Speed Ahead
Well I been rich and I been poor
Ain't no use in keeping score
You get lost and left wanting more
Yeah I been up and I been down
The city life will spin you round
You get lost and lose your feet on the ground
I feel a change is coming on
I'm not going back
I'm going full speed ahead
Love will catch me when I'm dead
Well I been right and I been wrong
Followed that muse to kingdom come
I got lost but I finally made it back home
Yeah I got lucky I found love
Forgive my debts cause I forgot who I was
I got lost but now I'm flying high above
I feel a change is coming on
I'm not going back
I'm going full speed ahead
Yeah love will catch you in the end
