Lyrics
Verse 1
어릴 적 가난이 친구였죠
눈물 삼키며 잠이 들었죠
배고픔보다 더 힘들었던 건
포기하고 싶은 내 마음이었죠
Pre-Chorus
비바람 속에도 쓰러지지 않고
꾹 참고 버텨냈죠
지금 이 자리까지
내 두 발로 걸어왔어요
Chorus 1
자수성가! 내 두 손으로
일궈낸 인생이 자랑이죠
넘어져도 다시 일어나
웃으며 걸었죠~ 오롯이 나답게
Verse 2
남들 놀 땐 일하고 또 일했죠
꿈 하나 품고 버텼어요
세상이 날 몰라줘도 괜찮아
나는 나를 믿었으니까요
Pre-Chorus 2
외로운 밤에도 눈물 삼키며
나를 다독였죠
그 모든 시간이
오늘의 나를 만들었죠
Chorus 2 – 후반 터짐
자수성가! 내가 주인공
눈부신 미래가 눈앞이죠
한땐 작았던 나의 꿈이
이제는 세상을 비추네요
Bridge
이제는 말할 수 있어요
눈물도 나의 자랑이에요
모든 아픔을 지나
나는 나답게 피어난 꽃이에요
Final Chorus – 브라스+코러스 폭발
자수성가! 내 인생 노래
신명나게 불러봐요
모든 고생이 웃음 되어
오늘을 빛내죠~ 자수성가!
