I stand by my convictions and I'm living by my word
So quick to condemn me and say I'm caught up in the past
Holding on to something that was never meant to last
Not content with good enough to make it through this world
And I'm trying to make things better,
So just tell me where I'm wrong
Maybe I see the world
In a different kind of light
I refuse to turn away
When I can stand and fight
Maybe I see the world
In a different kind of light
I'm still holding on
To the hope I have inside
There's nothing left worth fighting for,
But there's something everyday
I don't see through jaded eyes,
Cause I'm still fighting for a change
Growing up not giving in, one day at a time
And through the darkest hours, my eyes stay open wide
Never give in
Never back down
