| I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be in the past,
|
| the present, or the future
|
| It will be overshadowed by those around me
|
| With a different definition of «success»
|
| Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen
|
| All I know is I’m right where I need to be
|
| And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune
|
| I know that there is no greater payment than this
|
| And I’m so fucking far from the life I’m supposed to lead, and the man I’m
|
| supposed to be and I couldn’t be happier
|
| And I will remain a constant, I know where I stand, and I refuse to let their
|
| selfishness take control of who I am
|
| Take control of who I am
|
| Take control of who I am
|
| And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning
|
| There’s more to life than living, and I truly feel alive
|
| And I know that when I die
|
| There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place
|
| This is our song of protest
|
| I promise you that nothing is slowing us down
|
| I promise you
|
| That nothing is slowing us down
|
| And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning
|
| There’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive
|
| And I know that when I die
|
| There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place
|
| And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different
|
| And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different
|
| Even with both of my feet planted firmly on the ground
|
| I am free to move in my own direction
|
| I will remain a constant
|
| I know where I stand
|
| I know where I stand
|
| I know where I stand
|
| I know where I stand
|
| I know where I stand |
