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
