This song is my perception of life. It’s about being
present. It’s about seizing the moment. It’s about
being there for others when they feel like they have no one else to turn to. It’s about picking yourself back up when you feel defeated by life. Most importantly, it’s about not being afraid to change the way you think, or the way you act, to better fit the way you want to be. -GB
lyrics
They are broken / they’ve been mislead / capsized by life’s tides / sinking / can’t swim / no one to save them / no one to lead them /
Every time I see your face / it takes me to a special place / a place that we will never know / cause that’s not where you wanna go / and everything we see / and everything that we believe / they’ll try and use against us / they’re trying to deceive / so we have to find a better way / to take the world by storm today / will every breath and every gasp / be taken like it’s been our last / are we going to embark? / or fade into the dark / forgotten like the others / who were too afraid to start / cause /
WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY
We have to find a way / to save them / before we fade away / we’ve got to be the ones that take / our first steps / to take back what’s ours / before we’re washed away / left for dead / by this life that waits for no one
WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY
They are broken / they’ve been mislead / capsized by life’s tides / sinking / can’t swim / no one to save them / no one to lead them / WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY.
