Another year concludes filled with this time I've spent battlin' I'm in the mood to remove all the thoughts of where I have been A picture of regrets best expressed by droppin' a tune again So I will move to the beat of this dark funeral song and Inside the casket lies my hopes, my dreams, my ambitions All the things that nearly fell beneath when I began to run So overwhelmed by all the struggles goin' on, I almost Fell away from the very path that I knew was the only one to stay on But I was so wrong, the place I belong is on the front lines Writing the words to a song, givin' it all I got, set my emotions to rhymes Cause I still believe that there's a purpose for me And I won't give up until I see that it's complete I'm riddled with pain, ashamed of my name, perplexed by this infinite conflict If life is a game, you know I'm to blame, and you are the cop I'm the convict And yet I persist, I can't let it go Maybe beyond it all There's more than we know More than we know
So here I stand, and I am fighting back for you Oh, oh I can't pretend, 'cause this is who I am, I'll fight for you Oh, oh
And we will rise We won't be afraid this time There's a signal in the sky For the ones who choose to fight And we will rise We'll give everything this time Beyond the borders of the sky Lie a million stars that shine And they are waiting for us now To throw our shackles to the ground To take a step and show them how A million screaming voices sound And now we're shouting out the truth Voices breaking through the roof We won't be afraid of you We are strong and here's the proof
So here I stand, and I am fighting back for you I can't pretend, 'cause this is who I am, I'll fight for you
