Cause mom said

I’d be crossing borders

Never be afraid even

when you’re cornered

Stand up straight, fight your way

Fight your way, fight your way

 

All these people here

staring and looking at me

Shaking their heads eyes

down strong on me

What’s wrong with me?

Can you tell me now?

What’s wrong with me?

Can you tell me now?

 

The anger, the cruelty, I deserve it

And I’d do anything to

be what they call perfect

Then maybe I could find

a place to call my own and belong

But if only I was strong…

 

I’ll be walking with my eyes down

eyes down, eyes down

I’ll keep my eyes down

eyes down, eyes down

 

’Cause mom said I’d be crossing borders

Never be afraid even when you’re cornered

Stand up straight, fight your way

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Stand up, fall down, up again

Up against the pressure I am in

Slowly but surely I begin

Jumping trains ‘cause I know I can win

 

Oh fear not ‘cause

I know I’m in His hands

Though I can’t see

I know there’s a plan

So thick the fog but

I know I can trust

The feelings that

I feel when the roads rough

 

I gotta be tough with my eyes down

eyes down, eyes down

Strong in my stance with my eyes down

eyes down, eyes down

 

’Cause mom said

I’d be crossing borders

Never be afraid even

when you’re cornered

Stand up straight, fight your way

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

No, I won’t play pretend

I can’t pretend

There’s so much more up ahead

All that’s up ahead

No, I won’t play pretend

There’s so much more ahead

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders

Through the borders

Fight your way, fight your way

 

Through the borders

Through the borders
