Never Back Down

I’m standing up for what I believe in,
I’m watching as others turn their backs,
I’m fighting with a hope for survival,
And I’m covering up all my tracks,

I’m standing on the sidelines,
Cheering for another life,
Hoping for a change in society,
Making it through the strife,

And I’m never going to back down,
Always going to work hard,
Searching for the one thing,
I’ll always want to guard,

And I’m never going to lose,
Never going to quit,
I won’t ever forget,
I’ll always remember it,

Because I’ll stand up for what I believe in,
I’ll smile while others frown,
I’ll never give up my rights,
And I’ll always refuse to back down.
