lyrics

I'm givin it up to those whose stories' lost, whose story goes untold
I'm givin it up to those, who trusted their heart enough
When to know how to hold on
How to hold strong

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees
Ready to wake from this dream, ready to learn how to see
To better the best I can do, to further expose the truth
Give respect to those who refuse to give in to...
And I hear your voice, strong and full
Breathe life into this, empower this soul
And I hear your voice, strong and full
Breathe life into this, empower this....
Empower this souuul

So I'm lifting you up, cause I owe it to you
And I'm not giving up, I'm willing to see this through
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto

So I call you in, your wisdom like rain soaking this thirsty soul
Help me to remember what I have, what I hold, what I owe
Wondering what's true, what are my rights that I will forever hold onto
Wondering what's true, accepting honestly what I can and cannot do
Will I rise and fight, when there comes a time, when I can't help not to?
So I call you in, your wisdom like rain soaking this thirsty soul
Help me to remember what I have, what I hold, what I owe

What I have, what I hold
What I am, what I owe

So I'm lifting you up, cause I owe it to you
And I'm not giving up, I'm willing to see this through
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto

(instrumental)

So I'm lifting you up, cause I owe it to you
And I'm not giving up, I'm willing to see this through
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
There are things in this world that are worth holding onto
