I stand my ground in stormy weather
we're pickin up the pieces that we dropped along the way
we rise and fight and fall together
anything to forget the problems of yesterday

whatever they say is not only
not the only way I know
whatever they say is not always
not the only way for me
whatever they say is not for me

the sun will rise and fade your bruises
but it can never cleanse your body of the wounds and battle scars
we all just fight for some reaction
but you get yours, and I'll get mine, and they'll get theirs

whatever they say is not only
not the only way I know
whatever they say is not always
not the only way for me
whatever they say is not only
not the only way I know
whatever they say is not for me

they tell us to keep pushing on, on, on
I said we can't, we can't, we can't move much more foward
with uor feet pushed hard to the ground, ound, ound
don't you know how hard it is to heal?
don't you have any idea what is means?

whatever they say is not only
not the only way I know
whatever they say is not always
not the only way for me
whatever they say is not only
not the only way I know
whatever they say is not for me

oooh not the only way for me
oooh
