Now we've said 'goodbye', I'm feelin' so much better,
Tryin' not to cry, I'll make it on my own,
I know it won't be easy, but I've got faith in me,
I'll prove to you that I can make it through.
I'll walk tall, I'll walk tall,
I can make it alone - when I fall, I'll stand tall,
Your pride shines out of my eyes, white tears run down my face,
I'll walk tall through the night, I'm right.
If you change your mind, you know - it just might happen,
I'll be long since gone, 'cause waiting's not my style,
If, by chance, we do meet, and your lips try to kiss
I'll be strong enough to tell it like it is.
I'll walk tall, I'll walk tall,
I can make it alone - when I fall, I'll stand tall,
Your pride shines out of my eyes, white tears run down my face,
I'll walk tall through the night, I'm right.
The truth can sometimes taste so bitter,
While I laugh inside, I'm hurting still,
It's me who's picking up the pieces,
I know that I can win, and when I will.
I'll walk tall, I'll walk tall,
I can make it alone - when I fall, I'll stand tall,
Your pride shines out of my eyes, white tears run down my face,
I'll walk tall through the night, I'm right.
