stop me before I go to waste
for every heart that's born
can easily be torn away
I can't comply
to this state of conciousness
that we call life
and though I stand here to perish
I will stand here till I die

stop me from making more mistakes
fallen friends have learned their lessons
fate their teachers taught them all to late
don't teach me to late
just hide me from my fate

as the dead raise to fingers
of bare bone in the sign of peace
and in the sign of hope
that we won't fail
we'll defy these things
we won't fail
we won't fail

everybody's greatness is relative
everybody's greatness is relative
to what this universe has put them here to do
to what this universe has
put them here to do
here to do and as a sign of hope
so we won't fail
we'll defy these things
we won't fail
we won't fail
