I fought with a p***ion
Like a patriot fights for his homeland
I believed in a freedom
I had to make a stand

With faith beyond reason
Truth beyond treason
A fight to the end
I'll fight to the end

Just like the rest, we have pains
We all face the test
Go spit in the face of the doubts
You gotta fight to be blessed

I'm over the wall
I'm into the clear
I've broken the rules
I broke all the rules

What a hell of a run
It's been a long day
What a hell of a ride
It's been a long way

I've tasted a new kind of freedom
And that's where I'll stay
Found me a new kind of meaning
I ain't gonna throw it away

I don't stand where I stood
The feeling is good
I faced the gun
I looked straight down the gun

What a hell of a run
It's been a long day
What a hell of a ride
It's been a long way

What a hell of a run
It's been a slow climb
What a hell of a ride
But we've turned the tide
I've broken the rules
Broke all the rules

I've tasted a new kind of freedom
And that's where I'll stay
Found me a new kind of meaning
I'm gonna live it each day

Thank God for the tiger
The innocent one
Thank God for the woman
The mother and son

What a hell of a run
It's been a long day
What a hell of a ride
It's been a long way

What a hell of a run
It's been a slow climb
What a hell of a ride
But we've turned the tide

What a hell of a run
It's been a long day
What a hell of a ride
It's been a long way
But we've turned the tide
What a hell of a ride
