You taught me all you thought that I'd need to know And then you passed away And then you passed away What is my destination? What will become of me On that cold day? On that cold day
Can't ignore these messages from voices in my head Warning me I've much to do before I wake up dead
Stand for something now Or fall for anything The time has come to shout loud I won't go quietly Won't be a face in the crowd I'll stand defiantly Keep on beating me down You can't beat me out of me
Tomorrow is promised to no man When Death comes calling We must take his hand We must take his hand Don't wait until the final hour It may never arrive If that's the plan If that's the plan
Can't ignore these messages from voices in my head Warning me I've much to do before I wake up dead
Stand for something now Or fall for anything The time has come to shout loud I won't go quietly Won't be a face in the crowd I'll stand defiantly Keep on beating me down You can't beat me out of me
Come on I hear a distant sound I know we all fall down And one day, I will return to the ground I scream the truth that I have found: The time is now
