Every decision I have ever made has led me here I've got to keep pushing forward I've got to maintain control This is the one truth that I'll always know Because I don't believe in fate My life, my choices to make At what point do we lose our dreams Why do they fade away? We used to act like we had nothing to lose And came at everything with a child-like hope. Why must we answer to these men Who only really care about themselves I've got your back, and you've got mine Let's do things our way this time It just breaks my heart To see so many people lose that fire in their soul. (Don't you remember what stirs your soul?) Are you still with me? Are you still listening? Don't you know It's never too late to start again To create a future that you choose And not let anyone tell you what to do. Like a splinter under my nail. It roots deep into my skin And I can't seem to get it out No dead ends in life, Just detours Ambiguous paths with unclear direction Teach me to keep pushing forward I am grateful for what I have But I will never settle for less
