They say we cant make it through
Too young dont know what to do
This life is much too hard for you and me
They say we´re living in our dreams
Black white nothing in between
This world is never as it seems to be

But
They don´t want this
They don´t feel this
But
This was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I´m ready for anything
Just, a man, but I´m giving everything
We´re here only for a second and then
We´re gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive
Let´s live like we´re alive

They say stay inside the lines
We´ve drawn and you´ll be just fine
Don´t take chances with your life
C´mon

But
They don´t want this
They don´t feel this
But
This was never theirs at all

So here, I stand, I´m ready for anything
Just, a man, but I´m giving everything
We´re here only for a second and then
We´re gone when we least expect it
So do more than survive
Let´s live like we´re alive
