I woke up So many faces displaced in my heart Trying to remember A time where I didn’t feel so lost But girl don’t you cry For we all got fears about this life And when they are realized And going on is the hardest thing of them all But we must, we must! Not lose ourselves to this world Looking up from the ground At empty bottles and an innocence not found I left my heart in logic’s hands Asking God why can’t I make amends for man But I must confess The hardest truth was you were never there For the hell to tell me this apathy In me will expel So don’t you cry For we all lost something dear in the fight And going on is the hardest thing of them all But we must, we must Not lose ourselves to this world So now I speak And it comes from a place of peace For I still have a voice left in me 'Cause I am here I am here and I'm more Than my fears Than my fears 'Cause you can’t hold me down Though I’ve lost Look what I’ve gained A heart so full no man can bring his shame And here’s a simple truth From me to you The past is written by those who have Lived through Oh, and boy oh, don’t you cry For we all got fears about this life And when they’re realized And going on is the hardest thing of them all But we must, we must! Not lose ourselves to this world So now I speak And it comes from a place of peace For I still have a life Left to lead 'Cause I am here I am here and I'm more Than my fears Than my fears 'Cause you can’t hold me down 'Cause we are here We are here and we’re more Than our fears Than our fears 'cause You can’t hold us down Oh, you can’t hold me down
