All day I think of what matters most to me I can see I can see what I need All these people taking a piece of me Take a piece of me Light the road With the love And the spirit To endure To embrace Never forget Some will not understand What I do How I know To endure To embrace Never forget I won't bend (bend) Break (Break) Or throw it away Every moment's One more chance to Stand (Stand) Up (Up) Or get in the way So when I go I want the world to know I was alive I want the world to know I was alive I want the world to know No more confusion I've heard what's been calling This connection I feel to the light All these times When I felt the conviction It starts right here I can't ignore anymore I won't bend (bend) Break (Break) Or throw it away Every moment's One more chance to Stand (Stand) Up (Up) Or get in the way So when I go I want the world to know I was alive I was alive (I, I, I) Bend Break Or throw it away Every moment's One more chance to Stand (Stand) Up (Up) Or get in the way So when I go I want the world to know I won't bend (bend) Break (Break) Or throw it away Every moment's One more chance to Stand (Stand) Up (Up) Or get in the way So when I go I want the world to know I was alive I was alive I want the world to know I was alive I was alive I want the world to know
