They say we can't make it through
Too young, don't know what to do
This life is much too hard for you and meThey say we're living in our dreams
Black white nothing in between
This world is never as it seems to beBut they don't want this
They don't feel this
But this was never theirs at allSo here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive, let's live like we're aliveThey say stay inside the lines
We've drawn and you'll be just fine
Don't take chances with your life
C'monBut they don't want this
They don't feel this
But this was never theirs at allSo here, I stand, I'm ready for anything
Just, a man but I'm giving everything
We're here only for a second and then
We're gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive, let's live like we're alive
