Running Scared

I'm sick of holding back and biting my tongue when I look around.
There is a change to be made and it's not gonna change itself.
Who do we think that we are?
We've got our hands tied behind our backs.
We cannot be the change that we wish to see on our own.
I'm tired of running scared from everything.
It's time we pick our heads up and be the change.
These shackles do not have a hold on you or me, so why are you afraid when you've already been set free?
Back against the wall, where did your spine go?
I can't just turn my back on everything.
My mind was freed when I opened my spirit to the king.
Are you free now?
Fear of man or fear of yourself, what are you afraid of?
Are you free now?
Leader, overcome!
Head up, you are not alone.
Leader, overcome!
Eyes up, you're not on your own.
I've been down this road before.
I've felt the pain and the doubt of this broken world.
I've been down this road too many times, I can't just sit back and let you die.
I've watched my mother and my brother fight their demons on their own and though there's pain I found strength in this broken home.
I will never turn my back on you so I hope you'll fight this with me.
Fists clenched and now we're swinging.
Fight off your demons with everything you've got till your knuckles are bleeding.
This is life or death so just keep swinging.
Fight off your demons.
Fight off your demons.
Are you free now?
