Who I Am 03:41
I’m reaching out Am I reaching you? Are we helping out each other Or are you standing in my way I’ll touch the clouds I’m making the moves I’ll bring you up with me If you don’t try to weigh me down Lets build each other up instead of tearing each other down This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways I'm not looking back Or just looking on There's no reason to think about Those that keep me down I could do it myself Of course I could But I could also be surrounded with People that will help me out Lets build each other up instead of tearing each other down This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways Sometimes you have to make choices And hold onto those who care If you reached out for help Who do you know would be there This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways This is who I am This is what I have We could better ourselves together Or go our separate ways

So there’s differences In what you’re thinking So there’s differences In what you’re saying Doesn’t mean you start a war You don’t have to fight at all Because in the end We want the same thing Just because we don’t agree Doesn’t make us enemies Just because we don’t agree Doesn’t make us enemies Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong We’re divided And we’re fighting We don’t even know What our hatred’s toward Lets come together And be stronger We should pick each other up When we fall Just because we don’t agree Doesn’t make us enemies Just because we don’t agree Doesn’t make us enemies Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong Who’s to say what Who’s to say whats right or wrong

Let's lighten the mood a bit Give ourselves a lift Sing some songs to save our lives We’re gonna keep doing this That means we’ll never quit Singing songs to feel alright We keep doing this But it never gets old We’ll keep doing this No matter how long We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world Time to pick our spirits up We just can’t get enough We could do this every night Doesn’t matter if things get rough This is what makes us tough Singing songs to make it right We keep doing this But it never gets old We’ll keep doing this No matter how long We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world We're singing songs that Make us feel like We're on top of the world

We know we're more than this We're not just a name on a punch card Sometimes we want to have a good time And make the best of everything You should know that We’ll keep on moving You should know that We’ll keep on moving We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving Every now and then turn it off And appreciate what’s in front of us Take a moment and take it in And enjoy the things we do have You should know that We’ll keep on moving You should know that We’ll keep on moving We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving We’re gonna keep on moving We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on We’re gonna keep on moving on

Stay True 05:06
Things are different now Nothing like you’re used to Wipe that sweat from your brow Don’t know what you should do It's so much harder now For them to walk in your shoes All those thoughts in your head And what they’re putting you through Always stay true Always stay true Always stay true Always stay true Don’t you ever forget To stay true to yourself Always stay true Always stay true You’re not the only one That feels the way that you do Know that you’re not alone And we’re going through it with you Keep your head up And stand up for yourself You will feel most alive When your hand has been dealt Always stay true Always stay true Always stay true Always stay true Don’t you ever forget To stay true to yourself Always stay true Always stay true

How long you think you could last Look around the world is changing fast Will you hold on or give in All we know is something has to change We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking How dark will your future be If you don’t change what you see Is it getting better or worse Can you stop it all from falling down We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script We all know that We’re heading off a cliff Its up to us To rewrite the script Stop this ship from sinking Stop this ship from sinking Stop this ship from sinking Stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking Can we stop this ship from sinking

Diamonds are worthless (What do you want) Friends are forever (What's that you say) The times we spent are some of the best (You get it you got it, you get it you got it) The shows and the people are some of my favorite (You get it you got it, you get it you got it) Create new bonds (You get it wrong) and hold on to them for dear life Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Diamonds are worthless (What are you on) Friends are forever (What's that you say) These moments that we created (You get it you got it, you get it you got it) To defend our true friends (You get it you got it, you get it you got it) I want to die on my feet (You get it wrong) Instead of living on my knees Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Diamonds are worthless Friends are forever Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been Reflect and realize See how bad it could have been When I get down I know I can depend on you You picked me up when the world left me to die Reflect and love Reflect and realize

The suns coming up today If we have to pick it up ourselves We refuse to accept the defeat We're standing until there's nothing left Let go of all the lies You think you need to stay alive The struggle that's happening now Will be worth it in the end Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need We’ll cross that bridge when We finally get there But what do we do if That bridge comes right to us It’s time to take the pressure Stay dry no matter the weather No storm will last forever Keep working towards making it better Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need Be the example that Everyone needs you to be We're gonna be there To help with anything you need

The odds are stacked against us We don't know who we could trust But we’re doing What we have to do Who knows where we will be Soon enough I guess we will see We don't do this Who’s going to We’re standing No matter what is thrown at us We’re standing No matter what it takes Put on the line But we’re feeling fine Looking for a sign Before we’re out of time We’re doing what we have to Doesn’t matter what we’re put through We’re doing What we know is right We’re gonna keep our grip tight And hold our own in this fight We’re holding We’re holding on We’re standing No matter what is thrown at us We’re standing No matter what it takes Put on the line But we’re feeling fine Looking for a sign Before we’re out of time We have to do this To get through it We have to do this To get through it We have to do this To get through it We have to do this To get through it
