It's a battle of time, that I have with you

Or if we'll make it through
[Pre-Chorus]

I feel like you deserve a chance

To know the truth and to be better than
Am
The ones who came before you

Only to let pride and money weaken them

So be the young, the brave, the powerful
Am
'Cause the world is standing waiting

For someone to come and change it

'Cause we need a soul to save us

Need someone to be the greatest

So many words, veiling the truth

The others turning and

But if I was a betting man
