Track 8: It's My Life (Ferio's Song)
By: Bon Jovi (with a few lyric adjustments by me)
Explanation: Well, I really like this song and I was going to use it for TR but decided it'd be better for Ferio.  Her last song didn't suit her very well except for the title, but this one really does.  I just rewrote a few of the lyrics so they sounded better, but you can find the original lyrics here.  I didn't really change that much, just a few things that I thought sounded better and fit more with the character.  A few explanations...in the original it said "For Tommy and Gina who never backed down."  I didn't know who that referred to, I figure it's probably a celebrity or someone, so I picked two other celebrities Ferio would be more likely to look up to.  Which is why I changed it to "Ralph and Winona": Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke.  And the line "You never return if you never depart" may not make sense, but I see it to mean that, while Ferio might be brave in some areas, when it comes to relating with people she's not so brave.

I'm never gonna have a broken heart
You never return if you never depart
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
 
Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live without a lie
(It's my life)
I see it as an open highway
I wanna say I did it my way
I just wanna live without a lie
It's my life
 
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Ralph and Winona who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck, it ain't enough, you gotta make your own way
 
Chorus
 
Stand tall when a challenge comes around
Don't bend, don't break, you can never back down
 
Chorus x2
'Cause it's my life!
