AmYou only live Cone life so stay Eahead
Be Dmstrong and Cdo what's best for you Amcause soon you'll be Edead
[Pre-Chorus]
But Fwhat then, Amit seems so pointless
The Fshort life when Amthe end is meaningless
Unless I'm Fhere for a reason and Amjust lost Efocus
FMaybe I'm not here for me and to Erealize that will set me free
[Chorus]
AmEvery morning I get Dmup, begin for the day
CAs I step on your face EI try to erase
