I've been up, I've been down Seen the world from the ground But I hear the drumming Now my veins are pumping Scrape my knees, bruise my heart Where you end's not where you start I see them running, cause they see me coming I'm done with the noise, life seems a pain But I'll use my voice, my turn to sing You know that all my life I have been waiting, I have been waiting for this All my life I have been fighting, I have been fighting for this There's a dream in my soul, and I won't let it go You know that all my life They try to keep me down but I just get higher They try to keep me down but I just get higher Broke my bones, tasted blood Burned my wings close to the sun But I keep on flying, I'm too young for dying Cause there's a dream I can taste Think it's time I break my chains And run with the giants Like smoke I'm rising I'm done with the noise, life seems a pain But I'll use my voice, my turn to sing You know that all my life I have been waiting, I have been waiting for this All my life I have been fighting, I have been fighting for this There's a dream in my soul, and I won't let it go You know that all my life They try to keep me down but I just get higher Why? They try to keep me down but I just get higher Why? They try to keep me down but I just get higher All my life All my life There's a dream in my soul, and I won't let it go You know that all my life They try to keep me down but I just get higher Why? They try to keep me down but I just get higher Why? They try to keep me down but I just get higher
