Dragon Ball
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it was written in the stars
That I was meant for something more
Now i'm one man army fighting everybody's war
Will I survive?
I must survive
The world is on my shoulders so much pressure to prevail
And it's a sad and lonely tale
So what's the point in trying if your destiny is to fail?
You won't survive
But i must survive
I'm on the run from everyone
Where moons and suns collide
My back's up against to wall
I'll never fall when I find all
The dragon balls
Nights are long and restless
Danger?s always somewhere near
And I'm not saying I'm a hero
But I'm prepare to face the fear
We?ll send evil running when they hear my army cheer
We will survive
'Cause we will survive
I'm on the run from everyone
Where moons and suns collide
My back's up against to wall
I'll never fall when I find all
The dragon balls
Evil is not forgiving
We will never give in
until we're not living
Do you hear me?
Evil is not forgiving
We will never give in
until we?re not living
Can you hear me?
Evil is not forgiving
We will never give in
until we're not living
Can you hear me?
I'm on the run from everyone
Where moons and suns collide
My back's up against to wall
I'll never fall when I find all
