Has your heart ever skipped a beat?   Have you ever had to face hardships?   Did you ever have to overcome   Your fears and make sacrifices?   Who we are and what we want to be,   Is nothing without the heart to see,   That where we're going is our own destiny,   Not another's life that was chosen for me   We keep on fighting to save ourselves,   But keep forgetting everyone else   I've seen the view from the bottom   There was a time when I let myself sink   Dying to be saved by someone,   Instead of living to the best of my ability   This world is what you make it   This life is what you make it   The choice is up to you,   Whether you love or hate it   This world is what you make it   This life is what you make it   The choice is up to you,   Whether you make or break it   I'll live my life for me   And we're still fighting,   Slowly gaining ground   Choosing our own battles   By making our own sound
