Everyday is a struggle, its like swimming across the see
But with every breath, its one more step to be free
I’m waging war on myself, but I am lost between the sides
Were who I am is who I want to hide
I’m looking up to heaven with the flames beneath my feet
Trying so hard to be good, but I can not ignore the heat Cause the fight goes on, though times they are hard I will stay strong The fight goes on, and through these tribulations, I will carry on
1963, civil right, free love and equality
With there footsteps, they paved the way for you and me
But so little do we know about the price paid to be free
So I thank them with every breath that I breath
And I still believe there dreams can be reality Cause the fight goes on, though times they were hard they stayed strong The fight goes on, and through there tribulations, they carried on
Time roles on and the torch has been passed to you and me
But were to busy struggling in our own poverty
Working our lives away just to pay the rent
And are moneys all gone before it’s ever spent
The rich are still getting richer and the poor still don’t have a name
And the politicians pointing fingers at someone else to blame And the fight goes on, though times they are hard we must stay strong The fight goes on, and through these tribulations, we must carry on
Everyday is a struggle, its like swimming across the see
But with every breath, its one more step to be free
Were waging war on ourselves, but we are lost between the sides
Were who we are is who we want to hide
We're looking up to heaven with the flames beneath our feet
Trying so hard to be good, but we can not ignore the heat
