What I'Ve Learned

The world I live in is a world of fear Where you can lose anything you hold dear So I ask you What would you do if you had one day Just one shot, what would you say Would you make it worth it Or just blow it away Into the wind This is where we begin Tell your story and tell it well Tell of the people who gave you hell Did you have someone to help you along Even though they now may be dead and gone But you still have a part of 'em in your heart And you're carrying 'round that little part Knowing we are made to be strong Though we are weak You've come this far Don't give up now Went from Zero to Hero Now you've done it kid Turned around and put of a fight You stood up to protect your rights This is what my mind has become Because of the places I'm from I'm not the best for what I've done But in the end, the battle is won
