And with these hands
I've shoveled the dirt up off the ground
But the soil I've found
Is the soil that made us grown
And to not be bound
Not be bound
I will not be bound
By the ones who have shown us around
And brought tears to this earth
And build up structures
That have stumbled and collapsed
By other worlds colliding
We built these cities high
And they've tumbled to the ground
And what I've found
Is another way of living
Cuz I found it hard to feel alive
I've made another sacrifice
To raise my head up high I won't be bound
To all the lies I've had enough
(I've had enough)
And if I fall I'll get back up again
(I've had enough)
The sacrifice, I'll raise my head to the sky
Broken ideas from a false pretense
Creating deceptive depictions of a life
That we all strive to live
And brought forth
To our brothers and sisters alike
That we all strive to live
(We all strive to live)
And brought forth to our brothers and sisters alike
(Sisters alike)
And made promise to those
Who do well with gratifying gifts
Of riches and homes
But chased with liquor and shame
I found it hard to feel alive
I've made another sacrifice
To raise my head up high I won't be bound to all the lies
I've had enough
Cuz I found it hard to feel alive
I've made another sacrifice
To raise my head up high I won't be bound to all the lies
I've had enough
(I've had enough)
And if I fall I'll get back up again
(I've had enough)
The sacrifice
I'll raise my head to the sky
They say that life is what you make it
