lyrics

I'm not losing my war that's in my mind,
and I will spread my wings and soar.
And I will fly - and no I will never deny.
What's in my heart whats in my life
will be justified.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
they will not weaken me.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots,
well, we're not weakening...that's for sure.

And I won't be afraid of taking this out
I know i'll be safe and sound.
'Cus you will be with me
fighting in all these rounds.
And i'll shout out so loud,
"i know without a doubt that
I'll be standing there when you go down."
'Cus all these things i've seen,
well now i'll try my best.
And you will be with me to never second-guess.
And we will show the world
just how we passed this test.
And we will show the world
we're better than this mess.

'Cus I'm not losing my war thats in my mind,
and I will spread my wings and soar.
And I will fly - and no I will never deny
what's in my heart whats in my life
will be justified.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
they will not weaken me.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots,
well we're not weakening.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots,
and mean lies and mean plots,
and mean thoughts and cheap shots
wont last for long.

'Cus all these things i've seen
well now i'll try my best.
And you will be with me to never second guess.
And we will show the world
just how we passed this test.
And we will show the world
we're better than this mess.

Cus I'm not losing my war thats in my mind,
and I will spread my wings and soar.
Because I will fly - and no I will never deny.
What's in my heart what's in my life
will be justified.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
they will not weaken me.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
well, we're not weakening.
The mean thoughts and cheap shots
and mean lies and mean plots,
and mean thoughts and cheap shots
won't last for long.
