Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From nothing we have risen and from nothing we still rise
[Verse 2]
Take your life back
Fight!
Fight!
Will you fight to take your life back?
[Verse 3]
Ask yourself what's truly yours in life
Are you in control or someone's slave?
All that you cherish, all that you love
In the blink of an eye can be taken from you
[Verse 4]
In moments of tragedy we bond
And in weakness clarity thrives
I've been blessed with the inspiration
To take what little I have and always strive
[Verse 5]
Sometimes surviving is all that you can do
I never claimed to have all the answers or the solutions
My satisfaction is knowing that my desires will not be killed
With a readiness to defend what is mine and never compromise
[Verse 6]
The foundation of our lives
Built on hollow ground
We must unlearn the prejudice
We must unlearn the lies
[Verse 7]
I've seen the calloused, I know the jaded
I've been disheartened, I've lost control
But I never crumbled in the face of adversity
And I always force myself to believe
[Verse 8]
The foundation of our lives
Built on hollow ground
We must unlearn the prejudice
We must unlearn the lies
[Verse 9]
Are you willing to fight?
Are you willing?
[Verse 10]
Take your life back
Fight!
Fight!
Will you fight to take your life back?
