We let them tell us what to do, 
why, why, why 
We live to die for worthy things, 
ya, ya, ya 
We promised 
we would never lose our pride 
Your word's worth nothing 
if you lie 
We're standing tall 
and looking up, 
our Father would be proud 
And I'm happy 
to be working my own ground 
We'll be the last ones 
breathing here 
Hey, sing your heart out boy 
For all the people great and small 
Oh, when all else is lost 
The future still remains our own 
We're taught that 
we were born to lose, 
why, why, why? 
Don't waste your breath, 
it's time to choose, 
ya, ya, ya 
We promised 
we would never lose our pride 
Everyday they try to turn it 
into lies 
We're standing tall 
and looking up, 
our Father would be proud 
And I'm happy 
to be working my own ground 
I said, "Hey sing your heart out boy 
For all the people great and small 
Oh, when all else is lost 
The future still remains our own" 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope 
We let them tell us what to do, 
why, why, why? 
We live to die for worthy things, 
ya, ya, ya 
No matter what they try, 
tearing up our lives 
I know we will always rise 
I said, "Hey, sing your heart out boy 
For all the people great and small 
Oh, when all else is lost 
The future still remains our own" 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
The future still remains our own 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope, I hope 
I hope, I hope, I hope
