Story behind the song
I wanted to write a harder rock style song about determination. Even though it should be sung an octave higher (which is out of my range), the music dictated the key.
Lyrics
Determination words and music by Patrick Thompson (verse 1) How many times have I tried to write this song for you how many times I've tried and lost the groove mental blocks and timecard clocks, they slow me down but I kept the dream alive and broke on through (chorus 1) When I feel an inspiration breakdown the easy thing to do would be to yield but giving up is just not in my repertoire I bite the bullet - forge ahead make my way and anticipate success (verse 2) Traveling down the hard road is nothing new to me for everything I have, I've had to fight I find my revelations in the strangest ways and I live my life my way - I have the right (chorus 2) When I feel an inspiration breakdown the easy thing to do would be to yield but giving up is just not in my repertoire I bite the bullet - forge ahead make my way and anticipate success don't give - don't give - don't give up (bridge - chorus lead) (verse 3) The ladder to the top is filled with broken rungs sometimes I must retreat to gain the view but in the end I have to be what I can be It's the only way to give my best to you. When I feel an inspiration breakdown the easy thing to do would be to yield but giving up is just not in my repertoire I bite the bullet - forge ahead make my way and anticipate success bite the bullet - forge ahead make my way and anticipate success (repeat & fade)
