I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be in the past, the present, or the future will be overshadowed by those around me with a different definition of “success.”
Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen, all I know is I’m right where I need to be
And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune, I know that there is no greater payment than this
And I’m so fucking far from the life I’m supposed to lead, and the man I’m supposed to be and I couldn’t be happier
And I will remain a constant, I know where I stand, and I refuse to let their selfishness take control of who I am
While I may die poor, at least my life had meaning, there’s more to life than living, and I truly feel alive
And I know that when I die, there will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place
This is our song of protest. I promise you that nothing is slowing us down
While I may die poor, at least my life had meaning, there’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive
And I know that when I die, there will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place
I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different. [x2]
Even with both of my feet planted firmly on the ground, I am free to move in my own direction. I will remain a constant. I know where I stand
