We couldn't help but cry,
when we were brought to life.
Drug out by the cold slapped a few times,
to the rhythm of the flickering lights
with tightly closed sore eyes.
We grow,
to either be or hate what's cold
and that's when we learn to know.

To run
Don't follow
Lead a life the best we know.

It's hard to find your way through the darkness,
it's hard to know what to believe.
But if you live by your heart and value the love that you find,
when you have all you need.

To run
Don't follow
Lead a life the best we know.

Let's talk about an independent stand.
Let's talk about free form thought.
It's not about living under command.
So don't get caught.

I get knocked down and then I get back up.
Live your heart and never follow.
I'll speak my mind you can't cover it up.
Live your heart and never follow.
I'm picking up the pieces as they break and fall.
Live your heart and never follow.
I'll take on every day standing up, standing tall.
Live your heart and never follow.

Live your heart and never follow.
Live your heart and never follow.
Live your heart and never follow.
