You can try to keep me down

You can try to keep me under

But you'll never get my will,

You'll never take my will to fight

'Cause I was born at the bottom of this mountain

I'm scared and I'll probably climb it ,

Climb it till the day I die



All the things I know I needed

Just keeps me going

All the things I never had

Just keeps me wanting it more

Fighting for it all



I know I'm not that pretty

I'm only avid smart

With an overwhelming uncanny need just to need to survive

But you can dig a grave six feet under

But you'll have to take me up

'Cause you know I won't be going high



All the things I know I've needed

Just keeps me searching

All the things I never had

Just keeps me wanting it more

Fighting for it all



I never had a hero

Never met a saint

And there's nothing on this earth I can take with me

Anyway



All the things I know I've needed

Just keeps me going

All the things I never had

Just keeps me wanting it more

Fighting for it all

Fighting for it all



So, you can try to keep me down

You can try to keep me under

But you'll never get my will,

You'll never take my will to fight
