To all you people standing proud Thinking you know what I'm about I think you can **** yourself From your safe distance in this crowd That's when your voice becomes so loud Still trying to keep us down Walk one mile in shoes I never asked to fill But still press on I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down We sing together now Give me one reason to look in the eye (just one!) Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down We sing together now To all the ones that shake my hand Then talk your **** behind my back To those who claim they understand But never heard a word of what I said In spite of you I am still here This vision has never been more clear As we sing together now, oh I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything My hope, my faith, in what the future brings In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down We sing together now
