Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling for my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful
[Verse 2]
I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that God has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery
[Verse 3]
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down
[Verse 4]
Love and hate
How much more are we supposed to tolerate?
Can't you see there's more to me than my mistakes?
Sometimes I get this feeling, makes me hesitate
[Verse 5]
I believe
She won't take me somewhere I'm not supposed to be
You can't steal the things that God has given me
No more pain and no more shame and misery
[Verse 6]
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
You can't take me down
You can't break me down
[Verse 7]
I can see a place of trouble (I would stay away)
And I'm on the verge (I would stay away)
For the love of everybody (I would stay away)
I did something wrong (I would stay away)
[Verse 8]
And now I feel some days of trouble (I would stay away)
I'm in the house of war (I would stay away)
For the love of everybody (I would stay away)
Look behind a wall (I would stay away)
[Verse 9]
Standing now
Calling all the people here to see the show
Calling all my demons now to let me go
I need something, give me something wonderful
