[Chorus]
When the dream is so far gone
How hard will you push?
When there's no one to follow
How long 'til you fade away?
Will you stay?
Will you stay?
When the dream is so far gone
How hard will you push?
When there's no one to follow
How long 'til you fade away?
[Verse 1]
Unconventional
To the untrained eye
I must stand alone
I can, I am
Unconventional
To the untrained eye
I must stand alone
I can, I am
Unconventional (Unconventional)
To the untrained eye (To the untrained eye)
I must stand alone (I must stand alone)
I can, I am
Unconventional (Unconventional)
To the untrained eye (To the untrained eye)
I must stand alone (I must stand alone)
I can, I am
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Dreams of the day to come
It never ends, there is no resignation
[Verse 2]
Would you sacrifice
Everything you know?
Just to stand alone
I can, I am
Would you sacrifice (Would you sacrifice)
Everything you know? (Everything you know)
Just to stand alone (Just to stand alone)
I can, I am
Would you sacrifice (Would you sacrifice)
Everything you know? (Everything you know)
Just to stand alone (Just to stand alone)
I can, I am
[Bridge]
So when there's no one left to follow
How long until you fade, fade away?
I choose to fight back
I choose to rise, not fall
I choose to live, not die
And I know, I know that what's within me
Is also within you
[Chorus]
When the dream is so far gone
How hard will you push?
When there's no one to follow
How long 'til you fade away?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
When the dream is so far gone
How hard will you push?
When there's no one to follow
How long 'til you fade away?
[Interlude]
And when it looks like there's nowhere else to go, there is
When it feels like you're all alone, you're not
If you don't wanna fail, you won't, if you wanna live, you will
This is the moment that separates you from everyone else
To everyone who's believed in us
Through the highs and so many lows, we did it
And no one can ever take this away
I am supposed to be here, I was born to be here, I can, I am
[Outro]
I can, I am
I can, I am
I can, I am
I can, I am
