I was livin' in the past, holdin' on to yesterday, yeah
I knew it wouldn't last, I had to find a better way, uh, huh
I had to see the truth, I had to face the facts
I'm givin' something up, I'm gettin' somethin' back
I know I'm gettin' close, a little closer every day

I look at the future, the future looks bright
'Cause I'm livin' right, livin' right
Out of the darkness and into the light
I'm livin' right, livin' right, livin', livin' right

You're never gonna make it stayin' on the road you're on
The medicine you're takin' isn't gonna last you long
If you really want it, man, you gotta want it bad, so bad
Nothin' feels better than reachin' for the top
Once you get started you ain't never gonna wanna stop

I'm outside runnin' in the mornin' sun
No matter what it takes, I know I'm gonna get it done
I finally took a chance, I never thought I would
I'm through with feelin' bad, I'm into feelin' good
I'm goin' all the way, all the way to number one

Out of the darkness and into the light
I'm livin' right, livin' right
I look at the future, the future looks bright
'Cause I'm livin' right, livin' right

Livin', oh yes I am
Livin', oh yes I am
Livin', ohh, ooh
Livin', livin' right
