In the quiet of the dawn, I wake up to the fight
Every day's a battle, trying to reach the light
Through the shadows of the night, I search for a sign
But the path I'm on feels like I'm running blind
In the echoes of the city, where dreams collide
I'm lost in the rhythm of the passing tide
But I'll hold on tight to hope's fragile thread
In the struggle to get ahead
Oh, in the struggle to get ahead
Every step feels like a weight upon my chest
But I'll rise above the doubt and dread
In the struggle to get ahead
Among the silent crowds, I'm just another face
Chasing after dreams in this relentless race
With every door that closes, another opens wide
But the road to success is a turbulent ride
In the whispers of the wind, I hear my name
In the quiet moments, I'll stake my claim
I'll break through the barriers, I'll tear down the walls
In the struggle to stand tall
Oh, in the struggle to get ahead
Every step feels like a weight upon my chest
But I'll rise above the doubt and dread
In the struggle to get ahead
Through the storm and the rain, I'll find my way
In the darkness of the night, I'll see the day
With every setback, I'll find strength instead
In the struggle to get ahead
Oh, in the struggle to get ahead
Every step feels like a weight upon my chest
But I'll rise above the doubt and dread
In the struggle to get ahead
In the centre of London City, I'll sing my song
In the journey of life, I'll stay strong
For in the struggle to get ahead, I'll find my way
And in the end, I'll see the light of day
