I Got Rhythm

I got rhythm… in the dark… They took my money, took my name, Left me standing in the pouring rain. But I still hear the beat inside my veins, Even when the whole world screams in pain. I got rhythm when the lights go out, I got music when there’s no way out. Old man trouble knocking at my door, I look him in the eyes and say “not anymore”. I got rhythm, I got music, I got my fire burning through the night. Who could ask for anything more? When the whole world’s falling, I still got the floor. I got rhythm, I got music, Even when my heart is torn apart. Who could ask for anything more? I got my soul… and I got my heart. Days can be empty, nights can be long, But something in me keeps holding on. Birds stopped singing, trees turned to stone, Still I find a rhythm when I’m all alone. They said “give up”, they said “you’re done”, I said “watch me dance when the battle’s won”. No silver spoon, no golden crown, Just dirty boots and a beat that won’t go down. I got rhythm, I got music, I got my fire burning through the night. Who could ask for anything more? When the whole world’s falling, I still got the floor. I got rhythm, I got music, Even when my heart is torn apart. Who could ask for anything more? I got my soul… and I got my heart. No straight roads in this life I chose, Just broken lines and faded prose. But every scar became a note, Every wound became a song I wrote. I got rhythm, I got music, I got my fire burning through the night. Who could ask for anything more? When the whole world’s burning, I still see the light. I got rhythm… I got music… I got my soul… I got my fight… Who could ask for anything more? I got my rhythm… in the dark. I got rhythm… In the dark… I got rhythm…
