Verse 
Em                    C 
I am not a product of mistake, 

I've got a purpose and I'm living it out. 
Em 
This life of mine is no coincidence, 
                               D          
I've seen the world and I will never bow down. 
Em                              C 
So bring your temptation to the table, 

But I'm not giving in, never giving in! 
Em                            C 
Tell me I'm wrong because I'm different, 

But I'm not giving in, never giving in! 
Em                                            C 
Time spent waiting for truth to come out of a lie, 
                          B 
Is time that's wasted, so waste away but you're not wasting mine. 

Pre-Chorus 
       
I am not a product of mistake, 
                                     C 
I've got a purpose and I'm living it out. 
B 
This life of mine is no coincidence, 
                               C 
I've seen the world and I will never bow down. 
B                     G   D    Em C D 
Never bow down! Never bow down! 

                  Em 
I might walk this road alone, 
D                              Em 
But I know that it's taking me home, 
       D                                      Em 
I know that you're bringing me back where I belong. 
D                                Em 
When everyone tells me that I am wrong, 
          D                           Em   D  
I'll stay strong 'cause I'm on my way home. 

verse 2 
Em     C 
I have seen, I've heard, 
               D         Em 
I've felt your unfailing love, 
C 
I'll never be the same, 
        D 
Nothing can break me! 
C 
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, 
D 
This is a war you've already won, 
C                                             D 
So no matter what comes my way, I'll stay the course. 

                  Em 
I might walk this road alone, 
D                              Em 
But I know that it's taking me home, 
            D                                         C      G      
I know that you're bringing me back, bringing me back where I belong. 
D    Em          D                G        C 
When every voice I hear is saying I'm wrong, 
D              Em            D             B 
I stay, I stay strong 'cause I'm on my way home. 

Bridge 
                          D 
On my way home, on my way home, on my way home, 
B 
I'm on my way! 
                C          B 
I spend my days living for what is to come, 

For what is to come, 
F#                           B 
No evil can stand in my way 'cause you've already won, 
C 
You've already won!

I might walk this road alone, 
    Em               D         C

      Em           D              C 
When every voice I hear is saying I'm wrong,
