It's kinda like a bad dream
that's tugging at my heartstrings
but I kinda like the fighting
'cause its somehow apart of me
I grow tired of the waiting
for the never coming upswing
but my reasons never leave me
'cause there's a light here in front of me
(I will stand my ground)
We got one shot, baby
('cause I know our time is now)
to shed ourselves some light
On and on and on and on the world goes
if we don't try it'll pass us by, taking all that we know
On and on and on and on my heart goes
and I won't fall without a fight
'cause this is our time
So turn your head away
write me off, it's okay
I ain't lookin' for praise
in fact, I like it this way
So you can watch me from a distance
and pretend you know my secrets
but you don't know about resistance
until you're fighting the doubt away
I put my foot down on the hard ground
and baby, I'm not moving
I can face fear, we belong here
We got one shot, baby
to shed ourselves some light
On and on and on and on the world goes
if we don't try, it'll pass us by taking all that we know
On and on and on and on my heart goes
and I will stand my ground
'cause I know right now is our time
that's tugging at my heartstrings
but I kinda like the fighting
'cause its somehow apart of me
I grow tired of the waiting
for the never coming upswing
but my reasons never leave me
'cause there's a light here in front of me
(I will stand my ground)
We got one shot, baby
('cause I know our time is now)
to shed ourselves some light
On and on and on and on the world goes
if we don't try it'll pass us by, taking all that we know
On and on and on and on my heart goes
and I won't fall without a fight
