Here I go, now is my chance
I won't stop. I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I will get up...

I used to wake up and fret the light
When every day was another day
And I was a cadaver, living amidst the walking dead
I've seen the world - and the story never changes:
People need food; people need faith, people need liberty
Most see the world replete with misery
Thought like them, now I'm thinking differently
For I've been enlightened, profoundly inspired
Ambitions now wake me
And never again do I dwell in darkness
While the rest of us living somehow; take it all for granted, though we feel abandoned
Never dare I say that I'm burnt out or unmotivated
For I'm still burning on the inside

Here I go, now is my chance, I won't stop; I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I'll get up again, and again, again
Here I go, now is my chance, I won't stop; I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I'll get up again, and again, again

I can't change the world but I can change myself
If I can change myself I've changed part of the world
If I can do one thing is encourage those around me
To do the same, for the lost souls that are blinded
For life is a miracle, love is a miracle
Don't be afraid if you haven't hit your pinnacle
We're taught since we're young to live in a disguise
And never ask why, set our limits to the skies
But don't fear death
Fear a life of mediocrity
Seeing your dreams, getting crushed by conformity
In the sorrows of what could have been, imprisoned by your own skin
Everyday is one day less
So change it fast or you'll regress
Watching life slip through your hands
Don't live in a Morgue and be a Freeman
Get busy living or get busy dying

Here I go, now is my chance, I won't stop; I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I'll get up again, and again, again

Here I go, now is my chance
I won't stop; I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I'll get up...

(I can't change the world, but I can change myself)
Here I go, now is my chance
(I can't change the world, but I can change myself)
I won't stop. I won't stop, no
(I can't change the world, but I can change myself)
I will fall, but I will get up...
(I can't change the world but I can change myself,
If I can change myself I've changed part of the world)

Here I go, now is my chance
I won't stop; I won't stop, no
I will fall, but I'll get up again, and again, again
Here I go, now is my chance; I won't stop, I won't stop, no, no
I will fall, but I'll get up again, and again, again
