To all you people standing proud |
|
Thinking you know what I'm about |
|
I think you can fuck yourself |
|
From your safe distance in this crowd |
|
That's when your voice becomes so loud |
|
Still trying to keep us down |
|
Walk one mile in shoes I never asked to fill |
|
But still press on |
|
I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything |
|
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings |
|
In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down |
|
We sing together now |
|
Give me one reason to look in the eye (just one!) |
|
Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time |
|
I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything |
|
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings |
|
In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down |
|
We sing together now |
|
To all the ones that shake my hand |
|
Then talk your shit behind my back |
|
To those who claim they understand |
|
But never heard a word of what I said |
|
In spite of you I am still here |
|
This vision has never been more clear |
|
As we sing together now, oh |
|
I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything |
|
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings |
|
In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down |
|
We sing together now |
