This wake leaves a hole in its place
leaves these tears on you face
Steals your will to survive 
But wait, 
Wait for it, 
Wait for it,
Wait for its grace
Its gonna give you that strength
Don't Back down
And break with the rest of them
Rise up, 
Rise up
Don't Back down
Cause even the best of them fall
Even the best of them
Hate, when put in its place
Carries no weight, and burries no lies
The chase, the throw to the plate
Cannot hesitate 
And won't criticize
Don't Back down
And break with the rest of them
Rise up, 
Rise up
Don't Back down
Cause even the best of them fall
Even the best of them all
Everybody gets pushed around
Beaten down, mercy's clown
Ain't gonna be bullied for the rest of my days
Gonna take a stand right now
So put em up or get put down
Gonna show you just who I am
Don't Back down
And break with the rest of them
Rise up, 
Rise up
Don't Back down
Cause even the best of them fall
Even the best of them
Even the best of them
Even the best of them
Even the best of them all
