Sharks
Convictions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is our stand
This is our stand for the good fight

This is the good fight
We are believers
Stand strong the pain of persecution won't last long

Believers stand strong, sing along if this is where you belong.
I love the struggle, the scars that shape me
The persecution only confirms our plan.
I built my faith on broken teeth, speaking the truth through my thick and thin History.

This is my motivation, hasty remarks from your ignorant mouth.
This is my motivation, separation from this hateful world

My God, my God, please give me the words to say
You are the answer I needed
My God, my God they can't take this away from me.
You can't take this from me

You'll pull me down
You'll never watch me drown

My God, my God, please give me the words to say
You'll never pull me down.

This is the good fight

I've always known
I know they hate me
I know, I know
They hate me

Say what you want
Say what you will
We're standing still

I've been knocked down but not destroyed
I still believe, I still believe this is something worth fighting for
This is something worth fighting for, everything they have put me through.
Through the bitterness and rage that feeds inside, no matter what
Stand up for what's right
Forgive //forget this is the good fight.

My God, my God, please give me the words to say
You are the answer I needed
My God, my God they can't take this away from me.
You can't take this from me

You'll pull me down
You'll never watch me drown

My God, my God, please give me the words to say
You'll never pull me down.

No matter what is said and done
Through thick and thin
Your words won't break the skin
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!
stand firm speak loud
I will always be proud

I will learn to forgive and forget




Forgive and forget
This is the answer I needed
