I Count on Me

[Verse 1] If there's one thing that I'm sure about It's that I got a lot to learn If there's another thing that I'm sure about It's that I'm sick of sitting, waitin' my turn I've been knocked around, pushed to the ground People try to hold me down But here's a little thing that I'm sure about I'm gon' be standin' firm When I get back up again [Chorus] I count on me When everybody's counting me out I count on me When the world is full of doubt Through the storm, through the pain Through the fire and through the rain I count on me And that's the way it's gonna be [Verse 2] When I look around, all that I can see Is people trying to shift the blame When I look around, yeah, it's clear to me Somethin' 'bout me ain't the same Some people are cold, selling their soul I don't wanna be that way Take a look around, take a look at me I ain't never gonna change 'Cause I know what I believe [Chorus] I count on me When everybody's counting me out I count on me When the world is full of doubt Through the storm, through the pain Through the fire and through the rain I count on me And that's the way it's gonna be [Bridge] Now I ain't sayin' I can't rely on no one else 'Cause there are days when I'm tryin' to find a little help My friends got good intentions and though they mean well Don't nobody know me, like I know I know myself [Chorus] I count on me When everybody's counting me out I count on me When the world is full of doubt Through the storm, through the pain Through the fire and through the rain I count on me And that's the way it's gotta be [Outro] I count on me When there's no one to turn to, nowhere to go I count on me When I'm tryin' to find a helping hand, they have me know I count on me Through the fire, through the rain, through the snow I count on me That's the way it's gonna be
