Why fight for all the wrong reasons when I know
You're not what you're made out to be
A man is only worth his words
You're for yourself not anyone else
Look at the past and see what you've become
Yeah
You're a liar a common disease
So tread lightly and listen to me
Oh
Where I come from there's no turning back
No turning back
Abandoned all I have left is
Friends and family
Standing here alone
With a gun in my right hand
If I had the choice I'd take it all back
Take it all back
Take it all back
Before it all began
The violence, the hatred, the ignorance
I have watched the world crumble
This change is everything
I've seen better men than you
And I've watched empires rise and fall
If the world could only
Learn to love then maybe we'll survive
So use your voice and hold
Hold onto hope
Hold onto hope
This world needs to change
And this change is everything
If we don't learn from our past mistakes
If we don't stop living for ourselves
Then history will repeat itself again
And again
And again
In order for us to survive
We need to grow or we need to die
This changes everything
If you could only see through my eyes
The American dream is a lie
We need to grow
Grow or die
We need to grow
Grow or die
We need to grow
Grow or die
We need to grow or die
I've seen better men than you
And I've watched empires rise and fall
Feel the ice upon your skin
Feel the hair on your neck raise
Feel the storms inside your lungs
Still I choose to stand because I know
What lives in me is greater than
What lives in the world
If the world could only
Learn to love then maybe we'll survive
Maybe we'll survive
