Every excuse   Each reason why   Is just a way to justify   Letting your dream   Whither and die   I won't let mine   Mine stays alive   No fuckin lie     This is the man I am   I'll keep the promise   And go down fighting   No matter what you say   I'd rather stay   And go down fighting     I have a chance   I have a choice   I have a consciousness   I have a voice     After I'm gone   What was it for?   Was it a waste   One empty space   Not anymore     This is the man I am   This is where I will stand   I'll keep the promise   And go down fighting   No matter what you say   You chose to run away   I'd rather stay   And go down fighting
