Stand Your Ground
The Whippersnappers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you left the past behind
You're winning, you're losing, you're learning,
You're living your life with inspiration
Suffered and you've sinned
And now that it's over, you're older
You've learned to depend on your own actions
You consider their point of view
And found out that person was you
This fight inside, this battle without end
With strength and motivation you'll never run again
Never run away, never run away, never run away
You've got to stand your ground and see this through
From ignorance to competence, this coupled with intelligence
Its struggle and its common sense, this boy becomes a man
It's not some of the time, it's not most of the time
It's all of the time or none of the time
It's everything in everything, you do the best you can
You're never satisfied, you've got to see this through
This fight inside, this battle without end
With strength and motivation you'll never run again
Never run away, never run away, never run away
You've got to stand your ground and see this through
Most of us spend a life time running away
