Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the times you thought you'd never make it through
Felt just like the world just turned its back on you
Didn't stop you
All the times you could've given in and given up
Times you didn't know if you were strong enough
Still, you got through
[PreChorus]
Somehow it's all part of the plan
The journey
The journey
The journey
[Chorus]
It's the journey
It's the getting there to where you're going to
Go through hell, but still, you're gonna make it through
It's the fire that they can't put out inside
It's a hell of a ride
[Verse 2]
All the times they thought that they could hold you back
But you've always known there was no chance of that
You're made too strong
And when you're going with your heart
You can go farther than you'd ever thought possible
Prove them all wrong
[PreChorus]
It's all part of a bigger plan
The journey
The journey
The journey
[Chorus]
It's the journey
It's the getting there to where you're going to
Go through hell, but still, you're gonna make it through
It's the fire that they can't put out inside
It's a hell of a ride
[Bridge]
Every step you take
Is one more step along the way
On the journey
The journey
The journey, yeah
[Chorus]
It's the journey
It's the getting there to where you're going to
Go through hell, but still, you're gonna make it through
It's the fire that they can't put out inside
It's a hell of a ride
[Chorus]
It's the journey
It's the getting there to where you're going to
Go through hell, but still, you're gonna make it through
It's the fire that they can't put out inside
It's a hell of a ride
[Outro]
It's the journey
Oh, it's the journey, yeah, oh
