I’ve taken my bows and my curtain calls.
You’ve bought me fame and fortune and everything
that goes with it, I thank you all.
But it’s been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose.
And I need to go on, and on, and on, and on.
