Lyrics
Adjacently we stand, keeping out the cold
Emotions flowing through us, are we being too bold
To say we're in control
Time is moving on, soon we'll all be gone
The wall will crumble and fall, it had to be that way
'Cause this competitive world, may let you down
Hearts and souls and minds, they get churned around
People tread on your heart and they don't fear
That brave look in your eye, which says you care
Clouds that float on by, furnishing the sky
So beautiful you want to be there too
Oh, you can make it there
Stones may block your path
People they may laugh
Say you're acting like a fool
This fuels your will to prove
'Cause this competitive world, may let you down
Hearts and souls and minds, they get churned around
People tread on your heart and they don't fear
That brave look in your eye, which says you care
So don't ever let go, when someone says it's so
Don't give up the fight
'Cause you know it's right
That brave look in you eye, says your dreams won't die
This formulates your key
This competitive world, may let you down
Hearts and souls and minds, they get churned around
People tread on your heart and they don't fear
That brave look in your eye, which says you care, no, no
Don't let the wall crumble and fall
Build it up, keep it up
'Cause this competitive world may let you down
Rise up, defend yourself
Oh,no,no
Oh,oh,yeah yeah
This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up, defend yourself
This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up, defend yourself
Everybody looks, everybody know
Rise up, defend yourself
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up, defend yourself
This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up, defend yourself
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay, ay, yey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah
