Have you read the news today?
So much hate going ?round - ain?t no love to be found
Is everybody out of faith?
Spending most of their lives- trying to waste it

There might be trouble on the way
But I'll be damned if I surrender

Rather be one of the ones - that keeps on trying
Rather be one of the few - that won't stop fighting
Rather be one of the ones - that keep surviving
I?ll be around - stand my ground
Come whatever

Some say - choose your ground, don?t go down the wrong way
Life ain?t easy
But I don?t wanna be afraid
If I crash, if I burn - I will live and I?ll learn

When there's a cloud up in the sky - I
Go looking for the silver lining

Rather be one of the ones - that keeps on trying
Rather be one of the few - that won't stop fighting
Rather be one of the ones - that keep surviving
I'll be around - stand my ground
Come whatever

I won?t stop and I won?t give in
Optimist til the very end
Ain?t nobody gonna change the way I am
People hating - bonds are breaking
Where's the pride in that?

There might be trouble on the way
But I?ll be damned if I surrender

Rather be one of the ones - that keeps on trying
Rather be one of the few - that won't stop fighting
Rather be one of the ones - that keep surviving
I'll be around - stand my ground
Come whatever
