lyrics

Stand up and face your monsters!

Between the buried and the living, i am lost but i’m alive,
And I thread upon the path of solitude.
I’m alive, I deny, and I’ve tried to set things right,
There are monsters here that i need to defy.

Know, hold your head up high, your worth still hides inside.
So, to stop hiding who you are and let them know.

I used to wander out in doubt about myself, who am I.
But not all of us who wander are just lost.
Here you are, face to face with the monsters that you fear,
Find the strentgh and know that all of us are here.

Know, hold, your head up high, your worth still hides inside
So, to, stop hiding who you are and let them know

Theres a time in our lives, when we rethink our past,
Where we recap all the choices that we’ve made.
And then it’s time to decide… Time to decide.
It’s right in front of you, right in front of me...

Know, hold your head up high, your worth still hides inside.
So, to stop hiding who you are and let them know

We can do anything we want, so please don’t let your head hang down.
You know we are better then this, I know you are better then this.

I believe in you, I believe in you,
Bow your head, walk with us,
You are not, not alone.

Please stand tall, as you face,
Those who hurt, those who taunt.
They will fade, we’ll prevail,
They will fail, to bring us down.

Please stand up, you’re with us,
You are not, not alone.
