Own Your World
Hatebreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Of all the questions I've asked myself
This answer I must prove
You're just sliding painfully back
If you're not striving forward
Some think they know where your devotion ends
Let them swallow their words
Make your stand
Burn the bridge
Burn the bridge to the place where your fear lives
Make your stand
Burn the bridge
Burn every bridge to the places fears live
Fists up, head high!
We own the fucking world tonight
Fists up, head high!
We own the fucking world tonight
Fists up, head high!
We own the fucking world tonight
Fists up, head high!
One flame can light a million
Own your world
It's in your hands
Own your world
Strive to find the heart
They think the promises broken lift the blades to flesh
Light to hold back words that tear through they're all just spiritless
Make your stand
Burn the bridge
Burn the bridge to the place where your fear lives
Make your stand
Burn the bridge
Burn every bridge to the places fears live
Fists up, head high!
We own the fucking world tonight
Fists up, head high!
We own the fucking world tonight
Fists up, head high!
One flame can light a million
Some live by the limits set upon them
Others will commit to the task of destroying them
Some will be defined by the past that haunts them
Other will commit to their will undaunted
Own your world
It's in your hands
Own your world
Strive to find the heart
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Who's got more heart than you?
No one
Of all the questions I've asked myself
This answer I must prove
Who's got more heart than you?

Who's got more heart than you?

People may think that broken promises would cause us to give up, but they don't realize that their words only fuel our fire. We must stand up and destroy anything that erodes our self-confidence.
Some live by the limits set upon them
Others will commit to the task of destroying them
Some will be defined by the past that haunts them
Other will commit to their will undaunted
Some people are limited by their beliefs, while others seek to overcome these limits. Some are imprisoned by their pasts, while others choose to follow their hearts.
