Daniel Nahmod - Last Man Standing

I can't believe it's been 20 years now
Since I took the leap from silence to sound
So many ambitions, so many dead ends
So many decisions to dream awake again

Maybe it's time that I give it up?
Maybe I've finally had enough?

My heart's gonna heal and break
Whether I'm livin' out loud or playing it safe
The story I'm here to write can only be born in the dark
But come sunrise, you'll see... the last man standing is me

Oh disappointment, I know you too well
Someday I'm sure I'll have stories to tell
But I'm climbing a mountain that's too tall for most
With my eyes on the summit, so I don't see my ghost
If rising and falling belong to chance
Then why would I crawl when I long to dance

My heart's gonna heal and break
Whether I'm livin' out loud or playing it safe
The story I'm here to write can only be born in the dark
But come sunrise, you'll see... the last man standing is me

As long as I've been living
I've heard a quiet call
A voice that's unforgiving
Demands I risk it all (so)
Others might run circles
Around me if they tried
But there is something they can not know
This is the one thing I won't let go
Yeah it's the only thing I can do

No there's nothing else I can do
No it's not up to me and you
If there's one thing I know is true
Every fallback has fallen through

Luck's gonna come, luck's gonna go
Nobody really knows
Life's gonna come, life's gonna go
Nobody ever knows

One day at a time 'til it's mine to know
Just how high my song can go

My heart's gonna heal and break
Whether I'm living out loud or playing it safe
The story that's mine to write
Is shining a light in the dark
So come the dawn, you'll see
You'll have no choice but believe
The last man standing is me
