Holding on with all I have inside for the sake of my life I'm pulled underwater Crying out I call for anyone to share this fight But I'm sinking farther So weathered, worn and battered, I will stay Keep treading, as I'm dreading the waves My hands are tied but I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive And the world tries to drown you out Flooding your life like water-filled lungs Waiting for the day this storm will pass and leave my life It only makes me stronger I don't want to wait, but all that has been on my mind is, how much longer? So weathered, worn and battered, I will stay Keep treading, as I'm dreading the waves My hands are tied but I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive And the world tries to drown you out Flooding your life like water-filled lungs And the waves try to wash you away Brace yourself, head high, heart strong I will keep my head and heart above the waves My hands are tired but I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive My heart is tired but it's not breaking Now I'm awakened No matter what the cost is, I survive And the world tries to drown you out Flooding your life like water-filled lungs And the waves try to wash you away Brace yourself, head high, heart strong
