I got to tell you 'bout this tragedy
My daddy died when I was only three
My momma said: It's time to be the man
And ever since I've done the best I can
This is the story of my life
This is the story of my life
Now don't be acting so surprised
Everything will be fine
Now don't you think that I won't survive
In a way I'm blind
We packed our bags and moved across the sea
We traveled there with only just our dreams
That's where I met my boy and rock 'n' roll
Now that I'm here I'm gonna save your soul
This is the story of my life
This is the story of my life
I won't forget this paradise
Even when we say goodbye
'Cause in my mind the Sun will rise
Everyday in my mind
Running away, I'm running for freedom
I'll do what I want, I'll be who I want to
Chasing our dreams and chasing tomorrow
We'll do what we want, we'll be who we want to
Now don't be acting so surprised
Everything will be fine
Now don't you think that I won't survive
In a way I am blind
Ooh
This is the story of my life
This is the story of my life
