look at me
all i am is a thorn in society
victim of someone's misused authority
but when i close my eyes i get a vision of how i leave this all behind
you gotta be yourself
in this world of conformity there's nothing left
if you can't keep your sanity look in my eyes
as i fade away i am rising above this rising above this and now i see how it should be
out of the darkness i'm crashing down on my knees
inside i cannot hide
my own existence is reaching out for me to find the truth
buried in you
meaningless is this life that we live if we can't stay strong
try to hold on
never will i be hollow
now i feel this presence upon me
for all that i am
i just can't explain this absence of anger
is making me strong and i cannot blame you for not believing
as long as you know what i say is true inside are the answers
you'll find them inside of YOU
peace of mind is all i'm asking for
when trying to survive i need it more
and more you wanna see the truth then open up your eyes
you'll find the answers to all your questions deep inside
but there's a part of me that you just can't see
its burning deep inside and every day it seems to make me understand
what i've been put here for
i am rising above this rising above this and now i see how it should be
out of the darkness i'm crashing down on my knees
inside i cannot hide
my own existence is reaching out for me to find the truth
buried in you
meaningless is this life that we live if we can't stay strong
try to hold on
never will i be hollow
now i feel this presence upon me
for all that i am i just can't explain this absence of anger
is making me strong and i cannot blame you for not believing
as long as you know what i say is true inside are the answers you'll find them inside of YOU
now i can see its the right time
and now time to release the anger
and now you need to be reminded
that you cannot run from the truth
tell me how to mend what is broken
show me what you have spoken
life is one big question
you must learn these lessons
never give up and never fall from your own life
never give up and never fall from your own life
never give up and never fall from your own life
never give up and never fall from your own life
now i feel this presence upon me
for all that i am i just can't explain this absence of anger
is making me strong and i cannot blame you for not believing
as long as you know what i say is true inside are the answers
you'll find them inside of YOU
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up
stand up
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up for every thing you believe
stand up
