Excel where I left off To go where I've gone Defeated my failure Yea, but I still stand as one Why must I contribute to hate? Tears burning in my eyes See the confusion all around me 'Cause I've been told so many lies The walk is easy, but we make it hard God give me the strength 'Cause I've fallen down, down so far I have fallen down Why must I contribute to hate? The tears burning in my eyes I see so much confusion all around me 'Cause this world's told me so many lies So many lies A new life now I began Once lost but now I'm found Familiar in this same song No more chains that I've been bound Saying the same old thing Yes, I'll continue on Take a look around you Man, you know the battle has been won The battle has been won
