Fight The Good Fight

From the factories to the fields to wherever darkness wields its knife
 To the hearts of freedom beating
 For those who have a burning deep down inside that scares them to death but keeps them alive
 In the middle of the battlezone surrounding
 No matter how many battles are won, the war will continue to rage on
 With their unlimited weapons of media, power and money
 And just when you feel all hope is lost, you hear of someone with their life they've paid the cost
 You return to the fight a little more scarred, a little more determined
 Everyone else around you wallows in the abyss of mediocrity
 But you're all consumed with the altruistic vision that every person should be free
 But through every cloudy night, your only driving force is to do what's right
 You never give in, you keep fighting the good fight
 You fight for one person to get a second chance and you fight for the masses to be able to dance
 In a freedom drenched field of dignity and justice
 Your heart well it must be strong, and your soul true enough to carry on
 As you lose your mind in the midst of all the shambles
 The odds are stacked so high, its so much easier to resign
 Yourself to live your life the way they told you
 We know we're strong enough to survive, but we'll be damned if our kids have to live their lives
 With the same kind of hopelessness and utter despair
 We can't protect them from every evil they see but we can fight for them to live free
 With a little self worth and liberty screaming
 And those that came before us and worked all their lives
 Never made it ahead, let alone, couldn't even get by
 Never got to enjoy what they worked so hard for
 For our children who have yet to come, and our parents and grandparents who fought on and on and on
 That forges the unyielding passion for the fight of freedom
 They're gonna think we're crazy and look down on us
 We may be poor, but our souls are righteous
 And I'd rather be damned than live how they told me to
