Life's in the Balance

by Ferocious Designs

One minute, you’re alive and kicking The next you are down and out One minute, you’re clear and conscious The next you are full of doubt The world pulls away Your soul starts to fade Survival becomes a challenge Then your body fails The darkness prevails And now your life’s in the balance One moment you are up and rising The next you begin to fall One moment you feel unstoppable The next you hit the wall The world turns to gray The light fades away Survival becomes a challenge All hope seems gone You try to hold on And now your life’s in the balance Don’t give up Don’t give in You’ve got to fight You’ve got to win One minute you’re alive and kicking/Don’t give up, don’t give in Life’s in the balance The next you are down and out/You’ve got to fight, you’ve got to win One minute you’re alive and kicking/Don’t give up, don’t give in Life’s in the balance The next you are down and out/You’ve got to fight, you’ve got to win One minute you’re alive and kicking/Don’t give up, don’t give in Life’s in the balance The next you are down and out/You’ve got to fight, you’ve got to win One minute you’re alive and kicking Life’s in the balance The next you are down and out

Look all around you And see what's at stake A movement is coming Which side will you take Battle injustice Or stay on the side Will you stand up and fight Or will you just run and hide Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living If you don't take a stand And champion the causes Of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there When the system is broke Time to wake up your mind And lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line How can you keep saying That nothing is wrong When what's come to light Has been like this all along The shield has been broken The trust is betrayed Lives have been stolen By the system we made Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living If you don't take a stand And champion the causes Of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there When the system is broke Time to wake up your mind And lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line It's time to wake up and understand Now is the time It's time to support your fellow 'man For us to understand It's time to step up and do what's right It's time to get up and join the fight It's time to wake up and understand We must unite It's time to support your fellow 'man As one common 'man It's time to step up and do what's right It's time to get up and join the fight Take a stand Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living If you don't take a stand And champion the causes Of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there When the system is broke Time to wake up your mind And lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line
