I stand my ground in stormy weather

We're pickin' up the pieces that we dropped along the way

We rise and fight and fall together

Anything to forget the problems of yesterday

Whatever they say is not only

Not the only way I know

Whatever they say is not always

Not the only way for me

Whatever they say is not for me

The sun will rise and fade your bruises

But it can never cleanse your body of the wounds and battle scars

We all just fight for some reaction

But you'll get yours, and I'll get mine, and they'll get theirs

Whatever they say is not only

Not the only way I know

Whatever they say is not always

Not the only way for me

Whatever they say is not only

Not the only way I know

Whatever they say is not for me

They tell us to keep pushing on, on, on

I said we can't, we can't, we can't move much more forward

With our feet pushed hard to the ground-ound-ound

Don't you know how hard it is to be young?

Don't you have any idea what it means?

Whatever they say is not only

Not the only way I know

Whatever they say is not always

Not the only way for me

Whatever they say is not only

Not the only way I know

Whatever they say is not always

Not the only way for me

Oh, not the only way for me

Oh, oh
