Every day I fight for all my future somethings A thousand little wars I have to choose between I could spend a lifetime earning things that I don't need But that's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty And if you strip me, strip it all away If you strip me, what would you find If you strip me, strip it all away I'll be all right Take what you want, steal my pride Build me up or cut me down to size Shut me out, but I'll just scream I'm only one voice in a million But you ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that I don't need a microphone to say what I've been thinking My heart is like a loudspeaker that's always on eleven And if you strip me, strip it all away If you strip me, what would you find If you strip me, strip it all away I'm still the same Take what you want, steal my pride Build me up or cut me down to size Shut me out, but I'll just scream I'm only one voice in a million But you ain't taking that from me No, you ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that 'Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day It's what you do and say that makes you who you are Makes you think about and think about it, doesn't it Sometimes all it takes is one voice Take what you want, steal my pride Build me up or cut me down to size Shut me out, but I'll just scream I'm only one voice in a million But you ain't taking that from me No, you ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that Take what you want, steal my pride Build me up or cut me down to size Shut me out, but I'll just scream I'm only one voice in a million But you ain't taking that from me No, you ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that from me You ain't taking that
