Destined to succeed

I have no reasons to stop, no reasons to halt,
I have no reasons to cry over my fault.

I have no reason to fear, ah! no depression;
I have no reasons to regret
Or betray my passion.

Life often puts me in a hell,
Yet I find a grace,
When it pushes me unto heaven
I don't lose my face.


I might have got no respect
Not a penny fame.
Yet I am not without a critic
Nor without a dirty name.

I need not prove anyone, need not be great
In anyone's eyes; I need no judgement or explanation
Just hold on as long as my fate denies.

I might fall a hundred times but won't shy for another chance
I will hold my head high, untill I die
I have no reasons to stop, no reasons to cry.
