Lyrics

[Instrumental]
Lead: Dan
[Verse 1]
Fighting for existence, looking for a way
The race is getting harder, won't last another day
Try to make it happen, always on the go
Can't escape the hours, time will never know
[PreChorus]
Right now my new life has begun
I have to stand tall, I can't run
They're trying to take it away
I'm fighting the battle I...
[Chorus]
Stand or fall
Leave it to no one
Stand or fall
Fight for my right
Stand or fall
They'll never break me
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
[Instrumental]
Lead: Dan
[Verse 2]
Looking deep inside myself to change my world around
Never find an answer but I still stand my ground
Never-ending battle, my everlasting will
I'll come back when it's over, come back for the kill
[PreChorus]
Right now my new life has begun
I have to stand tall, I can't run
They're trying to to take it away
I'm fighting the battle I...
[Chorus]
Stand or fall
Leave it to no one
Stand or fall
Fight for my right
Stand or fall
They'll never break me
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
[Instrumental]
Lead: Dan
[Bridge]
Honor and loyalty so hard to find
People I've trusted, they're all left behind
Truth is the virtue they no longer seek
Stand with the strongest or fall with the weak
[PreChorus]
Right now my new life has begun
I have to stand tall, I can't run
They're trying to to take it away
I'm fighting the battle I...
[Chorus]
Stand or fall
Leave it to no one
Stand or fall
Fight for my right
Stand or fall
They'll never break me
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
[Verse 3]
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
