Life's in the Balance
02:56

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
