[Verse 1]
Only got one life to live
I'm gonna live it, oh yeah
Some people say I go too far
I don't care, I'm reaching for the stars
Gonna climb that ladder to the top
Nothin' can stop me now
Well, look out world, 'cause here I come
(Oh yeah) Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Life's a trial by fire
I'm going to live my life, oh yeah
It's a trial by fire
So just roll the dice (Oh yeah)
And I'll take what I get
[Verse 2]
Can't listen to nobody else
You just got to believe in yourself
They'll criticize you and lay down the law
They'll say, "Just who do you think you are?"
Gonna live it till the rivers run dry
What have I got to lose?
They just try and stop me, go ahead and try
(Oh yeah) Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Life's a trial by fire
So I'm going to live it up (Oh yeah) Oh yeah
Trial by fire
So just roll the dice (Oh yeah) Oh yeah
(Trial by) Trial by fire
Never gonna give it up, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
They say I'm crazy, they don't understand
They haven't got a clue, oh no
They say, "Tell me everything"
They say, "Let me hear you sing"
I say, "Tell you what I'm gonna do" oh yeah
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm gonna live my life the way I want to
Live it, live it the way I want to
[Outro]
Trial by fire
I'm gonna live my life (Oh yeah) Oh yeah
(Trial by) Trial by fire
So just roll the dice (Oh yeah) Oh yeah
(Trial by) Trial by (Fire) Fire
I'm gonna live it up (Oh yeah) Oh yeah
(Trial by) Yeah (Fire) Yeah
I'm gonna live it up, oh yeah
(Trial by) Yeah yeah (Fire) Yeah
I'm gonna live my life (Oh yeah)
