Lyrics
If I run. If I cower and shade my eyes from the sun. Well I'd never, I'd never look at anyone. If I've lost. If I look back at what it cost, then I'd hold, my bloodied nose up high. You know they're coming for you. You'd better stand and be ready. (chorus)Yeah you're wide open when you're all alone. Swinging is the only way I'm going down. I've see the wrong side of blackened eyes. It's been a long time, but I finally, finally, finally standing up. If I fight. If I resist and this goes all the way, and I stand. There's no reason to be afraid. If I've flown, if I've ventured too far from the nest, there's only one. There's only one looking out for me. You know they're coming for you. You better stand and be ready. Why, because its all within your, all within your grasp. Why, because this time is mine. Why, because you can cram your preconceptions up your ass. We walk a thin line. Its a new day. Its a new, its a new chapter. (Chorus) If I run. If I coward. If I escape. I'll never, I'll never, I'll never look. Switch off the fear. Switch it to, what you have to do. Switch off the fear. You know they're coming for you. You better stand and be ready. Because they're coming don't fly.
