Spirits get lifted

Words may get twisted

Still I hold my place

Attacks have been made

Sincerity fades

I refuse to save face

Should I forget

Lose my step and turn back

I can't let go

Of what I've always held so tight

Not looking for approval

Not looking for praise

Live by example

Show there's another way

We seek perfection

Hope for direction

Live for what's in store

Competition's draining

As well as complaining

You can strive for more

Don't let yourself

Get caught up in hate and greed

It's up to you

Follow what you feel is right

All this division

Bitter criticism

It's all so worthless, all so worthless

The time we spend being so idle it's all a fucking waste

I live to see

You understand what this means to me

To see it all through these eyes

I guess it never hurts to try

And when your heart's in the right place

You might see it my way
