Some of us, We′re hardly ever here
The rest of us, we′re born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I′ll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I′ll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They′re tryin to ride it out
Cause they′ve never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I′ll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I′ll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can′t seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I′ll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I′ll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it
