I've been fightin' all my life and I ain't done yet
Eight lives gone, just one life left
I've been digging in the dirt and I'm finally free
I see a light in the tunnel and it's blinding me

And I won't stand down
And I won't give in
And I won't let go
I got a brand new fire
And it lights my soul

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
Gonna send to the world the message in my heart
Burning with a reason
Gonna laugh in the face of old man time
Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark
Burning with a reason, burning with a reason to live

Gonna build me a house with my final straw
Chase this dream, win, lose or draw
Gonna share with you now what I've always known
Turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones

And I won't stand down
And I won't give in
And I won't let go, no
Got a brand new fire
And it's outta control

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
Gonna send to the world the message in my heart
Burning with a reason
Gonna laugh in the face of old man time
Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark
Burning with a reason, burning with a reason to live

I've been getting down to business
I've been working after midnight overtime, burning
I've been trying to prove who I am
What they're sellin' I ain't buyin'
Though some days I feel like cryin'
I've been tryin', I've been dyin' just to live

Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
Gonna send to the world the message in my heart
Burning with a reason
Gonna laugh in the face of old man time
Gonna fly, gonna shine like a diamond in the dark
Burning with a reason
Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
Gonna send to the world the message in my heart
Gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
Gonna send to the world the message in my heart

I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
Burning with a reason
I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
I gonna dance on the bones (dance on the bones)
Burning with a reason
I gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
I gonna dance on the bones of days gone by
I gonna dance on the bones
Burning with a reason to live
