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 bare feet 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 bare feet 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
and been taught to believe whats 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 bare feet broken in the snow
and my father said to me
it never seems to be
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
Its an icy cold broken road
It's an icy cold broken road...
