[Verse 1]
We let them tell us what to do, why, why, why
We live to die for worthy things, ya, ya, ya

[Pre-Chorus]
We promised we would never lose our pride
Your word's worth nothing if you lie
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground
We'll be the last ones breathing here

[Chorus]
Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

[Verse 2]
We're taught that we were born to lose, why, why, why?
Don't waste your breath, it's time to choose, ya, ya, ya

[Pre-Chorus]
We promised we would never lose our pride
Everyday they try to turn it into lies
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground

[Chorus]
I said, "Hey sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own"

[Post-Chorus]
I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope

[Verse 3]
We let them tell us what to do, why, why, why?
We live to die for worthy things, ya, ya, ya
No matter what they try, tearing up our lives
I know we will always rise

[Chorus]
I said, "Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own"

[Post-Chorus]
I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope, I hope
The future still remains our own
I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope, I hope
I hope, I hope, I hope
