Lyrics

Verse 1
Beaten down and not measuring up
to what society had in store for me
Now I look in the mirror into a broken man
and do not like the person that I see
Feel like giving up when hope seems lost
and I can't produce or do my share
If I dissapeared would it make it worse
is there anyone who would care
And then in an instant and without a sign
I feel a rush come over me
A voice in the distance cries get up now
and live your life with integrity

Verse 2
It's not the money or the job I have
that measures the man that I am
Try and stop menow I'm on a role
and catch me if you can
It's in vanity that it becomes hard to see
A purpose and a plan
I've served my god in whom I trust
but now I'm sticking it to the man
There's a power within that I've never known
now a gift from me to you
I'm living life now through selfless love
and I know what I must do

Chorus
Stand aside I'm taking the world by storm
Whatever it takes I'm gonna make it happen
Living for me is just a memory
In a new purpose now I'm born
I know what this life is for

Bridge
I've spent enough time, and time again
Trying to fill the void, it's time to end
Whatever it takes that's what I'm going to do
To stop living for me and begin living for you
