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
