[Verse 1]
One time for the people that are broken
To the people that are walking on the edge
To the ones that are hoping
Trying to reach out and afraid of the end
This one goes out to the few
To the ones that will try something new
Putting everything out in the view
And just hoping that someday we'll go and pursue it
I've been working so hard
Every time I look back
I remember the past
I think about all the things that I've done
And the person that I have become
I cut ties with a lot of my friends
This one goes out to the few that remain
The ones that were there from the start
Are the same that will ride with me till the end
I've been chasing fame
Like it was a game
I've been trying to make it but I've been afraid
I'm not trying to change
I'm trying to escape
So give me some space
And I'll show you the way yeah
From nothing left to lose
The beginning and that's how we lit the fuse
We've been on a mission to get you to listen
I hope that you know
This is just the beginning
[Chorus]
We are the ones who fight
We are the ones who rise now
We are the ones who stand
We'll never bow down
We'll never stop
We're taking control now
[Verse 2]
A moment of silence
For the ones that are fighting
That are hiding in violence
Gotta keep your head up keep grinding
Even if at times you're not smiling
I've been there before
I've been on this road
A little too long but I'm kicking this door
I was hoping the entrance would open alone
But I'm not gonna wait anymore nope
It's my time I won't bow down
Look around see my shine now
I've paid my dues don't get it confused
I've been on the rise I've been trying to prove
I could sit and write and give you something new
I am not gonna stop no I'll never do it
I used to think my vision was a dream
Till I got on my feet
And I started to bleed
[Chorus] x4
We are the ones who fight
We are the ones who rise now
We are the ones who stand
We'll never bow down
We'll never stop
We're taking control now
One time for the people that are broken
To the people that are walking on the edge
To the ones that are hoping (Taking control now)
Trying to reach out and afraid of the end
This one goes out to the few
To the ones that will try something new
Putting everything out in the view (Taking control now)
And just hoping that someday we'll go and pursue it
(Taking control now)
