I once told you all a little life lesson; I told you all to never back down So call me Tia; sometimes I'm messing but I'm always true to the golden crown Not old and brown, no, I'm not a mule. So come with me, we'll go out of bounds Let's canter guys cause a lot of you people are gonna know of the life you found I'm gonna bring you back to life No time for the lonely nights Break wide and show all your might So just go and fight and put down the knife uh Stand up now, don't you leave I'll open your eyes up so you can see That live can be lived so happily So open your mouth up and breath for me Alive inside I'm not surprised Today I'm not giving myself away Tonight, oh, I'm doing what's right So won't you bring me back to life Was dead, I won't let it get to my head I won't back down I'll stand up instead Been broken down, turned around I've dealt with the strife So won't you bring me back to life Been through much worse than this I really really thought about cursing it Not ready for the grave or the hearse; I spit Wicked sh--, never even worked a bit Well dang, never made the story books The change ain't worth how the glory looks I coulda took the path that old Maury took But instead I hung around and gave the story a look and Took the advice that I didn't wanna take Love turned bitter, and the bitter turned hate Had no bones that I didn't wanna break Thought I felt love when the love was all fake Life is a game and we are all choosing I always ask God "Why was I losing?" No time to stand with your movement I said just live and that's what I'm doing Back, back, back, back to life Back, back, back to life Back, back, back, back to life Gonna bring you back to life (2x) Alive inside I'm not surprised Today I'm not giving myself away Tonight, oh, I'm doing what's right So won't you bring me back to life Was dead, I won't let it get to my head I won't back down I'll stand up instead Been broken down, turned around I've dealt with the strife So won't you bring me back to life
